Used to be a lurker on Reddit. Trying to move on after their third party apps fiasco. I am an introvert by nature but I’ll do my best to interact a bit more here even if it’s just through comments.

Recently finished my first souls game Demon’s souls on PS5. Never played a FromSoftware game before but it hooked me right away. Soon after finishing it I bought a physical copy of Elden ring and bloodborne. Right now taking a small brake from Elden ring and playing control. But once I finish that one I’ll probably jump back into Elden ring again.

I would hope for Reddit to really suffer from this and become a shelf of itself maybe even like what happened to dog . I hope In a couple of years people will make memes about what happened with Reddit.

But to be honest I think this is just wishful thinking and Reddit might be fine down the road. Don’t get me wrong lots of people will migrate and this can be great for places like Kbin or squabbles or any other Reddit alternative but my hope for Reddit just going away is not very high.

Not sure what is happening today but people are putting up with a ton of shot and very few are down to actually do something about it.

Like look at Netflix for example, with their new password sharing cracking down policy. Tons of people being vocal about cancelling their accounts and I do believe most of the vocals ones did it. But truth is most people and big part or the ones not being vocal just put up with it and subscribed to their service. According to recent reports (I could probably cite them here but it’s easy to find) their subscription numbers are up even more so than at the beginning of the COVID lockdown. So even tho they did lost some of their subscribers they did gain a net amount of new ones.

I am just baffled and honestly a bit pessimistic about Reddit and Twitter in general to feel much of this.

Sure some mods will leave, the quality of many subreddits will fall but eventually new people will join and new mods will be appointed.

Instead I want to focus on new places like Kbin getting new people or people from Reddit and just making this my new home.

But how knows, hopefully I am wrong and Reddit will actually feel the consequences of being greedy.

But I swear in todays society feels like being greedy is rewarded instead of punished. Something is very wrong with how we as a society are doing things.

Yes!! Bring collapsible comments please! So far I am enjoying the experience. I do all my Kbin reading on phone using Safari. The web app is working well if only I could collapse comments I probably could go a long time like this until hopefully an app is released.
