I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.
The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don’t speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.
If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or… redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.
They will take it down themselves. They are pissing off the mods and the users that stayed. It will just get more corporate as time goes on and more and more of the content will become restricted to appease the shareholders.
The experience will just get shitter as time on. They’ll have to keep changing things to aim for yearly profits that they won’t hit and they’ll probably cycle through a few CEOs . Lots of addicts will stay on it glued to the feed of bullshit. They might try to “innovate” with some infinite scroll or some other bullshit but its well past its peak and its now on the slow decline
