Tashlan , 11 months ago to RedditMigration in Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account?

Not really, but I had already habituated myself to nuking accounts and deleting posts routinely long before now. I regret Reddit became what it is, not disconnecting from that.

Yeah, Reddit, like so many other websites, seems to have gotten into its head the idea that it wants to recreate the 90s AOL experience, but not in the fun way.

Nsfw is also dead on mobile web. And just a reminder that nsfw isn't just porn, it's also cannabis and vape content, and likely other content that touched "sensitive" subjects.

Honestly like, the dude you're responding too is referencing BBSes and using the web before tabs. If a user like that is expressing some confusion, disorientation, or irritation, you should regard it the way you might your grandfather critiquing your home. He could be cantankerous, but he probably does have some insight stemming from decades of experience. NTOG and I have been on opposite sides of almost every thread I've encountered them in but it's pretty clear they know their way around message boards, so if something is confusing them it might be a bit confusing yet.

Just to say, I 100 percent would pull RIF up in downtime but doomscrolling is not ubiquitous; I would pop into really specific communities to read about specific interests and shit that didn't expose me to current events. I am an extremely politically plugged-in person, despite avoiding it almost entirely on reddit (unless I was in the mood), but I found shit like RIF actually allowed me to be more selective about what content I want at any given time. That kind of fine-tuned control of my information intake, of course, is completely lost on New Reddit with its barrage of random recommendations.

Tashlan , 11 months ago to RedditMigration in /u/spez is right about feudalism and that’s why reddit as we know it is doomed

Reading it on mobile so not seeing anything wrong here, just black background and white text, like I've always liked.

Tashlan , 11 months ago to RedditMigration in What’s with social media companies trying to destroy themselves recently?

I think the dirty secret is that social media is both an incredibly vital part of people's lives and businesses, but it's free and ad revenue doesn't really make anyone the crazy profits their valuations suggest it should. That it's happening all at once is I think partly attributable to financial tightening -- higher interest rates mean people have less patience with money they've floated, partly that Twitter going weird gave everyone else cover to do the same, and my personal opinion, the Writer's Strike gives a little room for the companies to do dumb shit without having to worry about getting roasted on late night.
