I am also a long time reddit user, 10 or so years at this point. It's not obvious to me that reddit is particularly different than it was in the past. There's just more of it now.
- liotier 8y agoIt depends: each subreddit is its own little world
- akie 8y agoAs another long time (10 year) reddit user: agreed.
- draw_down 8y agoYes, that's my feeling as well.
- fudged71 8y agoIf you browse /r/all/top?t=day it is VERY different from a few years ago I remember the first slide to anarchy was vague titles. "This." or "Good boy" etc would never be upvoted. Instead you would have long descriptive titles that summarized the link. Images became far more common to share, with imgur and then reddit providing hosting. Subreddit politics got crazy between moderators of large subreddits and between admins and users when very questionable subreddits started popularizing. US politics happened. Conspiracies and fake news and then The_Donald somehow taking over half of the entire front page. I still love using reddit for the smaller communities, but to say it hasn't changed is so false. You can rewind and check out archives of the site from 10 years ago and you'll see.
- Macha 8y agoReally? f7u12 was really big early on, as was wtf, politics, atheism (back when the sub was way more crapping on religion) and videos: https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.gawkerassets.com%2Fimg%2F19a9xrtbzvofbpng%2Foriginal.png&f=1 https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.gawkera...
- doctorsher 8y agoPersonally, I think the last few years have seen more issues with brigading and bad / unethical subreddit moderators. But other than that, I agree completely.
