It feels like if you’re using Reddit for politics and news you’re doing it wrong. It’s a dumpster fire in that respect.
I still find Reddit has some relevance for more “niche” interests. For instance bikewrench To help with anything bicycle maintenance related. Or woodworking where there are many knowledgeable and friendly users.
If you’re blocking ads and not playing the Reddit gold game, you’re not really giving Reddit any money. In an ideal world we’d get rid of Reddit altogether but that’s already a step.
Wait until they disable old.reddit.com and restrict the api to their official app only and they’ll lose all their users I reckon except the people arguing about politics.
- bzb3 6y agoIt's always the same argument: "if you don't use Reddit the way .00001% of their users do, you're using it wrong". Yeah, no.
- ornornor 6y agoWell then I don’t know what to tell you. Enjoy your dumpster fire? Parent'spoint was that Reddit is unusable. I’m bringing a counterpoint that it’s ok if you stick to niche/specific subs and avoid the default subreddits and politics/news. It’s my opinion. You may not agree with it.
- bzb3 6y agoI didn't want to sound dismissive, but: >It feels like if you’re using Reddit for politics and news you’re doing it wrong. It’s a dumpster fire in that respect. 99.999% of Reddit users use it for that (just look at the front page). If you invent a tool and when you start testing it you see an overwhelming amount of the testers use it wrong, you can hardly blame the testers. The problem is your tool.
- majewsky 6y agoI see a lot of people wearing face masks on their mouth only, not covering the nose as they should. Should we conclude that the current mask design is broken?
