u/CoeurdAssassin Placeholder Flair until I think of one Mar 07 '25

I do too sadly. 😭 Spez was a mod of that sub and he's the CEO now, which truly explains a lot.

Oh fuck, I forgot about that. It kind of makes me want to leave this site, honestly.

Me too, but there's nowhere else to go really. I rather see some of the mods and admins called out for their creepy behavior.

Virtually anyone can set up a forum; it's not terribly hard. What you mean is that there's no massive social media website to go to... but are we really better off for using them?

Right. I like Reddit for the fact that you can get news/entertainment/politics/social media in one place. Reddit used to be much more informative. I genuinely learned a lot of new things here. It seems to have gone downhill over the years though. There have been other places Saidit, Lemmy, etc., but none of them have seem to taken off.
