    How has it changed? I’m genuinely not familiar with it. I know of the spicy reputation it once had, but I rarely see it mentioned anymore these days. I assume censorship or something like it found its way there?

    User posts are down, bot posts are up. Go to anything political or US, Israel or Iran news and all you will see are hundreds of homo erotic AI images of Trump posted by bots

    Ugh, that does sound terrible. I liked Reddit reasonably well before 2016 turned everything and anything into politics. And then covid and the whole Ukraine situation turned everything to shit even further.

    I really miss the 2000 internet when it was just nerd discussions and the occasional funny gif.

    Just because the people have changed doesn’t mean the platform has changed

    Nah it changed, if you were there early on you know the vibe started changing by 07 and by 10 it was kinda what it is now. I'm pretty sure I fully left in 2011.

    While yea alot was user base ageing out it was also leadership, rules, posting numbers, OC reduction, government actions.
