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.
Sysadmin, certain IT related subs, and my local city sub, are all still ‘useful’ subs in some way or another just due to sheer population still over there, at least until we have a larger mass adoption over here.
Based on your shared view, why would you even sub to this LW community? Just cut the cord fully if that’s your preference.
I really miss having a local sub but both of the portland subs turned into absolute cess pools the past year, there’s an ask one too that’s also filled with “i need to be right about this” type assholes.
