I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.

But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.

Welp…

    This… People keep dreaming of reddit crashing and burning or going under but, realistically if that did happen a good portion of the existing userbase will filter into the fediverse somewhere, and thats a lot of inorganic growth. Currently there are a handful of popular topics, and some niche topics. Yes there are also reddit like mannerisms but, when people slowly filter in, the room can be read and the existing culture remains, when a mass intake happens (like what happend with the API debacle) the influx is faster than the adoption and the culture comes with it.
