I deleted Reddit from my home screen when the mods did the fake strike and I've mostly kept off of it since then, but in the past few weeks I've opened it out of boredom and holy God is it just a truly awful place. My only explanation is that it's a window into the psyche of the American middle class email job worker and they're so fucking brain rotten that it hurts to even look at.

I thought I was misremembering or that reddit-logo was just a good meme, but that site really does represent the absolute worst of American liberalism. I don't even have anything specific to say, I just need to scrape out the festering mass that a 15 minute scroll session there created in my brain.

    whoever is left is... a robot, oblivious, addicted, posting into the void... or what

        We checked against some other stats and while it was less disastrous we're still seeing a 30% drop and right now there is a very obvious declining trend downwards occurring across communities, which isn't good.

        oh you mean the site can't could the posts because it uses the api to count but the api was limited. well that makes sense.
