Today is just one of those tech news days. OpenAI, Facebook and a major outage of a popular website. Exciting times!

  Elon didn't just buy Reddit by any chance... :-)

    God I wish. Then I could wean myself off of there too.

      Just do it, you won't regret it. I was in your position in 2021 and genuinely found it difficult to stop using it. Now I don't use it and... I'm glad. Just like Twitter. Life really is better without them.

        Only thing I'm annoyed is that old reddit isn't default for those rare occasions I need to visit it.
        • c23gooey 4y ago
          AFAIK you can make it the default in your user settings. I haven't seen new reddit for a long time

            There's also an add-on at least for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re... I don't like to stay logged into my account so I use this.

        Did you switch to other communities or just swear off social media sites altogether? I’d love to just go back to smaller niche sites like the old days.
      • johnnyanmac 4y ago
        My main issue is that it can legitmately be the last place some more niche communities gather. The front page is absolutely never worth interacting with, but those "smaller" communities (and we're still taking 50k-300k subs, larger than many alternatives I've seeked out) I haven't found a substitute for.

    I starting joking about that like 2 weeks ago and I hope I did not start a self-fulfilling rumor because I would feel very ashamed

  Yesterday the BBC front page had an article about a teachers' WhatsApp group with a racist name. I thought to myself that it must be a show news day. Then today happens!
