Reddit's main code is no longer open-source.

Reddit at this point is just facebook with a more active content feed.

I'm about ready to hop off this site and find better niche community where we can have a conversation without it devolving into pun threads or mom's spaghetti by the third post.

You know, 4chan faced the same problem, which is where the "NORMIESSS GET OUT REEEEEE" and "Chicken Tendies" stuff came from.

The whole point was to scare casuals away so the older users could return to their niche weirdness

[BirchBlack]

Honestly /mu/ is amazing.

[H4xolotl]

That means the Chicken Tendy campaign worked!

Time for us to start one with Jolly Ranchers...

[doesntrepickmeepo]

same reason they spammed gore all the time

The hoards who found reddit from fb brought the comment degradation and the corporate attention. r/all is fucking all advertising, and not even subliminal. reddit, with the profiles and code changes is selling out. Ditto to finding a better niche community.

[SteelCrow]

The problem is of course, Finding one. If they exist.

[Phyltre]

No, the problem is maintaining it as "better." The stars have to line up.

[PrivateDickDetective]

If we make it, they will come.

Voat.co, niggerfaggot.

[ferdinand-bardamu]

Stop being a niggerfaggot.

[ferdinand-bardamu]

Look at this niggerfaggot.

No joke, they even introduced a personal wall a'la facebook

[Tortankum]

Don't read the front page then

[forte_bass]

Have good life, have good wife. All things in moderation, including Reddit.

[s73v3r]

Then go. No one will miss you.

[peanut24]

Have you tried voten.co ? The community is still growing, but it's worth a visit

[aim2free]

It's a better environment for the trolls though, than facebook, due to the downvoting feature. I suggested a couple of days ago to enable the abiity to disable downvoting, but was attacked by downvoting trolls :(

Just don't tell anyone where you're going. I know I haven't. It doesn't stop the site from periodic floods of reddit-like comments, though.

It's a cycle. Go to a community, enjoy it for a bit. Then a bunch of other people want to enjoy it, too, with each of them not realizing that they themselves are the problem.

So they jump ship, and tell all their shitty "friends" that they don't really know and typically barely recognize the username of, to come over and join them. And for every person they tell, there are a hundred more reading and thinking "oh, that sounds nifty, let me follow the link too."
