I was wondering the same. 🤨
🤣
Reddit is a link aggregator website that had some of the best community ties I had ever seen. It had its problems I’ve the years but always pulled through.
This year the company made the awful decision to cut off API usage unless third party apps were willing to pay exorbitant fees, so the apps all shut down.

Thank you. nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424, Nice sunglasses 😎
Reddit went from building communities to chasing monies. They butchered API access which caused a two day Reddit blackout that thousands of subreddits supported. Mind you, some even closed their subs permanently. Then they removed the awards system which was a fun way for users to upvote and reward great content. To add insult to injury, they introduced what they called a "Contributor program" aka a KYC cash grab (only available in the US), then the final nail in the coffin was the removal of the Community Points system yesterday.
I can vouch for everything up until the contributor program, I must have dipped before that. I just kept my explanation quick and dirty to get the point across
fuck reddit
New here from reddit, but MOONs got rugged yesterday so a lot of users are looking for alternative options as a response
They started a shitcoin experiment some time ago and then shut it down yesterday, rugging everybody in the process.
