sadly... yes. I'm just not finding the community here that I built up there over 11 years. I know, I know, give this 11 years and we'll get there, too... but it's still over there.
I did the whole "delete all comments and posts and replace with the API reasoning text" thing, for my main and my few alts. BUt I find I still am heading over there on browser through old.reddit and lurking.
Voting creates a signal about the quality of a post so other users can rank posts based on the collective perspective. You don't vote for yourself, you vote to help other users.
This whole episode taught me the importance of diversifying the online communities/platforms that I use, and how NOT to rely on a single platform controlled by a for-profit entity.
From now on, it's communities based on open platforms first for me, and proprietary ones the distance second and only if I really can't avoid it.
When this started? Yeah, no question. Too few people here, crappy UI.
A few days ago? Maybe. Same issues, but reddit would have to do a ton including firing fuckhead.
Now? No way. I unmodded myself even from the tiny communities I was modding that will never exist here. This company now sits believe Facebook in my estimation.
yes, it's in 'Settings', in the drop down menu under your username. Scroll down to 'Type' and 'Sort Type', and you can set your defaults to whatever you want.
Nope. Not a chance. I have no love for giant corporations, and Reddit has always been particularly shit even by that standard. Say what you want about the evils of Meta / Google / Apple, ETC ETC ETC, but at least they generally try to keep their users happy, or at least using their platforms. Reddit just seem to have absolutely no idea what their users want half the time, Reddit premium anyone? The way they handled, or rather failed to handle, the accessibility issue also leaves a rather bitter taste in my mouth.
Upvoting a post releases the Good Chemicals in the brain. You do this when you would like the person who made this contribution to do more of that.
Downvoting, in turn, produces the Bad CHemicals. The downvote button was famously invented to replace the previous disincentivizing mehchanism, Hammers.
