It basically feels like the public comment section of a local newspaper website, but there's 10,000 comments on a gif about a monkey stealing a baby. How can there possibly be 10,000 things to say about that gif?
No you see, there a 10k total comments, but follow a power law of connections: there are only a few "level 0" comments, that branch in lots of flavors of "i have sex", "china bad and I have sex", and even "g*mers are opressed"
Obscure social media site attracts clever, creative users. Site begins to consistently generate better content. Site grows more popular, attracts libs, who begin to form majority of user base. Site grows even more popular, attracts fascists. Fascists enact agenda, lib masses ignore protests from original users because that's, like, emotional labour. Original users leave, fascists rule unopposed. Libs complain about site going to shit.

How? Why? Evidence please.
before subreddit filtering was a thing i had literally hundreds of subreddits blocked using RES. I had hundreds of keywords blocked. im an idiot for not just realizing i hated the entire site and quit visiting it. even after they added subreddit filtering for /r/all i maxed it out at 100 the same day the feature came out. im an idiot.
Bruh If I could figure out how to get all my gaming news without using reddit I'd be over the moon. Anyone know how RSS feeds work?
