YES… the way people talk to each other on Reddit is disheartening. I found that if I didn’t phrase things EXACTLY in the same tone/manner that was the general “reddit tone/manner” it was an argument and downvotes. If I had any opinion that was ever so slightly different from the popular opinion it wasn an argument and downvotes. It became impossible to have authentic conversations in many of the subs

Sales have fallen 59% in a year… Musk took over 9 months ago… weird coincidence.

Walking away and not looking back is actually very powerful.

I mean seriously… We don’t have ANY better and more qualified candidates in our 331.9 million citizens? Really?

I’ve been 100% remote since 2017. I don’t even know if I could function in a traditional office again. Too many distractions

4 billionaires and one guys 19 year old kid.

I was a baconreader person too but I deleted it and moved 100% to beehaw when things started getting weird at that other place

Thank you for this in the short term. Not gonna lie, I was a little grossed out by all the furry / anime porn / gone wild stuff that was crossing my feed when I hit all. No matter how fast I blocked the communities, I couldn’t get them all. I’m not a prude person at all but I also don’t come here to surf random porn.

As someone in the advertising industry - I felt overwhelmed by ads and served content. I want a place where my content isn’t driven by a corporation trying to manipulate my spending habits – or monetize my consumer habits… And I want a place where no one is trying to monetize my eyes and brain. That’s why I can’t support reddit. Yeah, I know, companies need money. But back in the olden days, people weren’t the product if that makes sense. Getting everyone on the same app/platform isn’t a mistake. Apps have all sorts of other purposes designed specifically to see what you’re up to, where you are, what else you do when you’re on your phone. Corporate apps watch you. Plain and simple. Getting people off of 3rd party apps and onto a reddit app, while increasing making their users the product, isn’t an accident or coincidence.
