I think it’s just changed over time. Reddit was really different ten years ago. Posts by the admins about changes or their actions regarding drama were more common for example.
Ever since Reddit threw Ellen Pao under the bus to make all those controversial changes in 2014, Reddit has never returned to that same level of quality. I remember when they changed the algorithm around that time to some trash version of what it used to be. I used to see world events before anyone else heard about them. After that change it took days for anything relevant to show up in my front page.
Agreed. Reddit mods need to see a sinking ship for what it is and work to migrate their communities to software that actually appreciates what they do. Reddit wants to capitalize on labor of love the mods perform.
Screw Reddit, I’ve already posted more on kbin/the fediverse than I have since the algorithm changes years ago
Frankly I don’t see how anyone could trust Reddit as the steward of decentralized communities like they claimed to be.
They’re in it for the money, that’s it.
