    I haven’t looked at the front page of Reddit since the exodus. I have used it to deshittify Google search results but that’s it. I imagine it’s absolute garbage by now.

      Same. Unfortunately I still need to visit smaller subreddits to get answers on niche topics, but that’s my only use for it now. In and out; 10 minute adventure. Not spending all day on the front page like I used to. Any more time than that on the website, and I’ll just end up getting into an argument with some Gen Alpha idiot who feels the need to butt in and say something ignorant. 10-15 years ago you’d only see that kind of behavior during summer break. Now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

      I hope that one day I can finally abandon that shithole for good.

        I went and looked last night out of curiosity, and found absolutely vile racism on r/Canada talking about immigration. It was just shy of "deport them all’ in the comments.

        Even the smaller subreddits on niche topics seem to be dying. I suppose the lost good will (and loss of third party mod tools, or course) caused many of the superusers to leave.

          A number of the technical subreddits made their own forums on discourse, and the subreddits are either closed or in a zombie state.

      I rarely touched that shithole called the front page. Mainly in Redditplanet for Windows Mobile, since you can’t login there.
