🤔Am I overdoing it with all the reddit-related posts? archive.is/SFcRn
I feel bad for users over there, at least the long time users who know what it was. I’ll admit, when I moved over here I felt genuine remorse, guilt, and anger. I realized I was literally going through mourning, which sounds silly for a website, but those were communities I joined over a decade ago that I was walking away from.
People have asked me why I started a Taylor Swift community over here, and it’s really because of those nice, friendly communities over on Reddit that I had to walk away from. I know how hard it was to leave those ones, so maybe I can run a couple of the ones that I enjoyed there to help the next wave of folks so they know there are some of us here already who have gone through it.
Emotional, probably, but honestly just felt betrayed and angry with how they treated us long time users, the ones who were there at the very beginning. They chose some hussy ill dressed homewrecker IPO over us long term stable and loving users.

I was on Reddit the other day asking a tax question. Seemed like posting was less. Felt like a ghost town in some places subreddits. Just my impression.
I wonder if traffic and posting is really down?

I visit daily for a few of the top stories on r/all and some subreddits like, r/Helldivers, but overall my interest in anything else on that site has soured. It’s not nearly as engaging as it was and the subs that get pushed are just terrible copies of what was great. It’s definitely died before but this is different.

I liked how the article tried to paint less fractional users from search as a positive. Too me that sounds like less relevance which is negative. Also interesting that Reddit no longer publishes that statistic. Make a me wonder why.
