Was talking to one of my friends about this the other day. Reddit has close to two decades of answers to questions from experts in their respective fields and now between subs going private and people purging their accounts a lot of that data is about to disappear which really fucking sucks.
Whole wealth of information that people can grow from going down the drain over one man's desire to be the next Zuckerberg.
At this point I hope this blackout stays in place until they reverse their decisions on everything and fire spez. If not I'm done with Reddit for good.
Kbin seems more than sufficient as a replacement to me.
The only things I'm missing on kbin are all features of Apollo, not Reddit, so there's literally ZERO reason for me to go back.
Not sure if anyone will see this or cares.
Just got here because Reddit is going to shit and the steelbook subreddit helped me a ton with finding stuff I wanted in my collection so I figured I'd make one for everyone in case Reddit dies.
