I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.
I feel the whole point of this and Twitters bullshit was to get the lefties off of the last major social media left so everything can be Fox book ahead of the elections.
It has certainly been hard to find a good place to discuss current events with a leftist crowd. I’ve migrated to Spacebattles, SufficientVelocity, and RPG.net and already been banned permanently from SB by an admin with a personal grievance, and the other two sites are simply too small and slow to have much worthwhile discussion. Now I’m checking out Lemmy, but we’ll see how that goes.
