I'd been looking for a good reason to leave reddit for a while.
Lately I've been growing tired of the push towards reddit mobile app. I only use the desktop app, even on mobile, and slowly but surely reddit has been hiding things behind their app or requiring you to sign in. I don't want to sign in, I don't want a mobile app.
Despite how big it is, it's very easy to not actually engage with anyone. I miss forums, so I didn't like that.
Opening up popular posts and scrolling down pages of witty one liners.
General rudeness, brigading, and the all or nothing mentality concerning many topics.
Reading pretty much any comment in /r/worldnews is discouraging.
I know people like googling with 'reddit' at the end, but marketers also know this and I've become suspect of 'reddit recommended' products. In general, reddit is turning into a product and not a place of knowledge and discussion.
I know this is probably my own reddit settings, but I don't like how comments have been collapsing. So I open a post with 9000 comments, I see like 3 top comments and have to click to open the children, which can take a second to load. If I reload the page then I lose my place. Clunky. (I've never used any app to access reddit).
World news is one of the main reasons i left Reddit especially the brigadering and the same copypasta that some βusersβ post in every thread about a specific conflict
Because of the amount of times i have seen the same comment spammed in multiple subreddits in just 3 days I naturally reported one of these comments as spam and insted of taking it down they just perma banned me from Reddit
