They stopped being open source, added far more telemetry, changed the gold system to incentivize purchases, changed the design to the new one (slower, far more js), etc.
Personally I stopped browsing reddit a few years ago. It used to be amazing.
- neuroticfish 5y agowhat do you use now? i find that there are almost no alternatives to niche communities.
- PlainDishonesty 5y agothat's the problem. there's practically no other alternative if you want the variety reddit has. Hackernews is a great solid community, however it's only one community.
- redis_mlc 5y ago> Hackernews is a great solid community No it's not. HN is now eternal September, but leftist.
- techrat 5y agoI actually quite love the Hackernews UI and wish that there was an implementation/self hostable package of it that could be expanded to cover other topics ala Subreddits. But alas, I'm not much of a coder.
