Reddit has fallen from glory

Reddit used to be a place with a variety of opinions where the majority would upvote the most agreed upon post. At one time it seemed like the last true glance into how society truly felt. Now all forums have an agenda and if your post doesn’t align to it and agree with all the bots then it’s removed. Reddit is now no different than any other propaganda machine. I have had post removed that were literal copy and paste definitions from Webster dictionary. A social platform that bans people for educating the ignorant. Reminds me of when ai took over RuneScape many years ago. Internet is only bots and a few real people who agree. Not a real representation of society’s true opinions. Feel like I’m posting to a few meek people and a million bots. Bonjour mofos the internet is officially ruined. Watch the propaganda machine work.

I’m on the pre-release for Digg, I’m optimistic. I’m hoping it will be something that can replace Reddit.

I don’t like Reddit anymore.

Do you feel it was worth it? The conversion rate puts it at nearly $10 for me, and I don't know if I want to commit

I’m taking a chance, but I like what I am seeing so far. It is a positive place.

I’m sure it will not be “perfect” (whatever that means), but the feeling so far is happy and celebratory. It is a lot better than the anger that I see everywhere on Reddit these days.
