i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

    Gallowboob basically destroyed the site by popularizing “safe” feel-good subreddits like r/nextfuckinglevel. Then of course, the tumblr diaspora fiasco.

    It’s textbook enshittification. Start with a great but unprofitable idea that attracts users, monopolize the market, then debase the service to extract cash from the cornered userbase. We have to show them that we aren’t going to put up with it. Any enshittified service should be immediately boycotted.
