Was on Reddit from 2009 until a month ago and it really went to shit - beyond the API meltdown - when the IPO dropped. A ton of system changes and the algorithm super-charging the rage-bait subs and of course the 'bots.

AND - which I noticed, at some point in 2024, they quietly locked down older posts (beyond the nornal archived ones) and made it so users even, could not scroll down into their comment history and pull up really old content. Comments older than 12 months disapeared and can only be found if they'd been saved.

Right now, I'm only keeping my reddit account active (even though I'm banned) because I can still access the saved content I liked.

May be pulling a lot of that, esp. the tech stuff over here after the new year..
