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…

    Yep. Happened with bluesky. It was pretty decent and wasn’t getting any troll crap that was rampant on Twitter. Then there was some controversy on Twitter and Blue sky quickly went up in its new members and…yep, it just got all trolly and agro 🙄

    Personally I just miss when we had individual sites for a topic like when I was a teenager. Grew up on forums for a certain artist and another different site for specific sports teams, books. Way less likely to get idiots if you actually have to actively find the specific website for an artist you hate.

      I loved forums. I have a group of friends I met on a forum and we rarely talk about that subject anymore but we’re still really close.

      Maybe it will go back to this. I say that because there is a comeback of personal web pages from 00’s

        That’s really cool - I recently went to check out one where I used to go but unfortunately the rest of the page is there but no forum anymore.
