The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

Note: Edited to add to the title and replace the image link with one that won't be going offline in 2 weeks.

On the left: Rick and Morty after going through detox with the caption "Fediverse users who are here because they want to be here". On the right are the toxic leftovers of the other RIck and Morty with the caption "Fediverse users who are here becuse they've been banned everywhere else"

I keep getting banned for the dumbest shit these days. God forbid you insult Nancy pelosi for some reason. I got banned for jokingly saying "pour beans in his mouth" as petty revenge for someone farting in a CPAP. It's is getting dumbed down so bad over there

    The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
    Every time I catch a peek now it's the same Am I the Asshole (they're obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO????), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)

    I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.

    At this point I wouldn't go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.

    If Reddit ever disclosed how many "users" were bots, I'm quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?

    I’ve been banned on reddit for nothing so many times lol. People were saying something about a white person, and I made a very innocuous joke like “white people are the worst!” and I kid you not, some worthless reddit brained dumbfuck called me racist and told me to GTFO. I was perma banned. Stuff like that a million times over.
