Just deleted my Reddit account because of a couple reasons. One, I barely used it after the API pricing protests, and two, Reddit is allowing users’ posts to be used as AI training data, which I find reprehensible for obvious reasons. I will admit that I feel pretty sad about it, though, because I made my account back before Reddit completely went down the shitter and was actually kinda decent. I hope more people use Lemmy or Kbin because it’s feeling pretty lonely here in the Fediverse. Sorry this vent isn’t particularly sad. I’m just kinda bummed about this is all.

P.S. obligatory fuck u/spez lololololol

    Use old.reddit

    It don’t give two shits about NSFW content and still shows you everything

    Using Reddit’s trashy normal site has the weird ‘create an account bullshit to see NSFW content’

    The day that stopped is the last day I would ever touch that site.

      To add to this; if you get one of those “this community isn’t reviewed please make an account” things, old.reddit gets past all that, too.

      Well hot damn, I didn’t know old.reddit could do that. Thank you very kindly for sharing that knowledge!

      Welp, one of these days soon, whenever I get a chance, I might take the deep dive and nuke my Reddit altogether. 👍
