I’m swapping from Reddit to lemmy but still use Reddit for comparison and because not every sub is already as active.
In the last few days Reddit seems to be very unstable to me.
Posts don’t load. Answers don’t get posted and so on. Anyone else having similar problems?
They are gutting the DM system and finding out it is a lot more embedded than expected.
Also they are finding new ways to fuck with old.reddit that not even RES mitigates
I think and predicted that they going to close old.reddit soon, as they want to “optimize user experience” with new UI. (I.e: not load all post so fast, but pretent to ‘loading and pause’ so you are going to engage more than scrolling, especially stuck at loading new post after you scroll past and ads, so you can spend some time reading the ads, …)
the day they killed i.reddit I knew it was only a matter of time
It’s like how all the public 3rd spaces got killed as a sacrifice to the automotive industry, now all of our digital 3rd spaces are being sacrificed to big tech
I hate everything about how the world is going
Investor want cash out, so they milk. Whether the platform die after that doesn’t matter. What matter now is the quarterly report look good.
And CEO work like, 5 year term, so they want to milk as much as possible for that term and bail out with huge compensation.
