A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

    Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

    "Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "

      Fucking delusional on this writer’s part. It was far more than dozens and a lot of those people were power users with an outsized influence on the community.

      I personally moderated two 150-250k user subs. Stepped down from both and wiped all my posts and comments and have not contributed a single thing since.

    In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

    (Emphasis mine)

    This is the same tone deaf response I’ve come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I’m happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

      That same quote caught my eye. It’s just bullshit. Of course they’re no quantitative way to measure quality on a qualitative scale. Any long time user can see there’s not much going on like there used to be.
