Yeah. When Reddit introduced /r/all filters, I started exclusively browsing it using /r/all but filtering all the trash subreddits. There's a lot of frontpage trash to get rid of, but once it's gone, it leads to pretty good discovery. That filter is inexplicably gone in the new version, even though it's a feature that's less than 2 years old ... The subreddits still get filtered, so I go on old.r to add new entries (I'm up to over a hundred). If this goes away, I'll just stop regular visits. Not worth the hassle.

  Well once they started helpfully prefiltering, I hiked. The writing was on the wall. Its a shame voat was already entrenched by edgelords and under constant ddos. I think a new clone with better privacy filters would do well.

    I think saying "the writing was on the wall" is a bit weird. People have been claiming Reddit going the way of Digg for as long as it's existed. It's bound to happen at some point... death is an inevitable part of life, even of a website's / company's life. You and I are bound to die at some point, the writing is on the wall, yknow? But yeah, I really miss Reddit not being full of vile shit. Does seem to be somewhat inevitable when a community grows. And the site has grown massively. Which means all the subreddits that existed back then grew massively. So new ones are created, and for a while those don't suck as much... but they grow as a function of the site's growth. And the bigger the site, the faster "fresh new subreddits" grow, and end up being atrocious.

    There is a clone of Reddit that I've been using for 2 months that reminds me of a 2008-era Reddit. Its called Tildes and is run by a former Reddit admin. https://tildes.net/ https://tildes.net/ They're in beta mode right now, I have a few invites if anyone is interested.

      I'm interested in checking it out, as long as we're not talking about the usual "reddit banned me for hating muslims" kind of Reddit alternative (which this doesn't seem to be, from what I can gather). Email on my profile.
