@dangillmor #reddit is an echo chamber cesspool, ruled by some of the most toxic and vindictive mods that care nothing about free speech, and a lot more about controlling others. Using Reddit to train AI models is great for producing troll farms tho!

I was a target of Reddit's contempt for it's users. I hope their IPO flops too.

What happens to companies that have poor IPOs?

Is there a social media platform that does NOT have contempt for its users?

@dangillmor I hope for this as well, but there needs to be a focus on building up an alternate reddit, not just taking down current reddit.

@dangillmor I've nearly finished manually deleting all my #Reddit posts and comments - one by one - only to discover there's an app for that: redact.dev

🤦‍♂️

I've been a moderator there for nearly ten years but am not going to let them profit from my work for their #enshittification of the web.

@dangillmor Initial rocket and then sharp decline as insiders cash out.

Another possibly positive scenario would be that they succeed initially, become even more obnoxious and greedy, and piss off all of their users, so that they might learn a lesson about using proprietary services.
