First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.

I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.

Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you’re banned. You can’t have a discussion there anymore

This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg’s terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.

I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

To all my Apollo refugees that are struggling with the interface. wefwef.app is basically a clone of Apollo for this site. The name is shity but it works great!
