In the last 3 days I’ve been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and…

Yeah

Wasn’t expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was.

At least there’s a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

    I agree, but those who are left are either looking for easily digestible memes or content created by others. Without an engaged community, Reddit has to be afraid of the next shiny thing that comes along, and I think that TikTok has shown us that they don’t even care if that next shiny thing is spying on them.

      I think “is spying on them” has been baked in since Snowden at least. The TikTok early adopters grew up in a post 9/11 world predicated on being spied on.

      The only real difference is it was someone else’s government doing the spying, for a change.
