I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.
The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

I love how everybody is so busy about mining your behavior for ad tracking data and then like 2/3 of the ads I actually see are utterly irrelevant gut doctor / toenail fungus / 17 Most Embarrassing Topless Celebrity Moments crap.
(I think the reality is that they’re mining that data to identify a small number of people susceptible to high-value scams - like getting addicted to an F2P mobile game and spending $1000s on it - and the rest of us just get generic infill)

Have you had yourself checked out for toenail fungus bro? Might be a thing.
If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you’re subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.
It’s called Reddit Account Manager, and it’s 100% free.
You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.
gentrification of reddit.
‘you will all be replaced by yuppies who dont know what privacy is’I think 99% of my interactions with Reddit these days are pulling RSS feeds, most of which just get marked as read. I almost never load the actual site anymore.
Damn…i gotta do this…so many threads though… I did this a while back with youtube and it was very much worth it.
Reddit’s announcement, authored by Reddit’s head of privacy, going by “snoo-tuh” on the platform (Reddit has refused to confirm the identity of admins representing Reddit on the site),
Irony
someone on the article’s discussion outed the person because she used that title (“head of privacy of reddit”) on linkedin
She got outed again today by the reporter of The Verge article.
