I've never used Reddit, but I don't get how people can still defend it at this point.
>Used to be (mostly) open-source, but closed it's source code back in 2017
>Used to be free speech friendly until around 2015 when they started banning subs like /r/FatPeopleHate
>Is known to be a cesspool for center-to-far-left, atheist, hipster, "I LOVE SCIENCE", consumer types
>Karma and gold creates groupthink and elitism
>Is now overcharging for their APIs
I really hope that the site crashes and burns like Digg, but the site is more popular than Digg ever was. However, I am happy that this is receiving massive backlash, at the very least I hope it severely cripples them.
In the meantime, if you want to host your own communities, get an actual forum. Hosting is dirt cheap and auto-installers make hosting forums easy. And people still use forums, btw. Dwarf Fortress has always had their main discussions on their own forums and they are still active to this very day.
