I’ve found that the quality of Reddit comments has degraded over the past few years, with lame jokes and low-effort regurtitated talking points getting upvoted to the top of most threads. Which is fine. I’m full of lame jokes. But it’s just not what I’m (mostly) interested in.
KBin, Lemmy, et al. seem to be better but also suffer from a lack of any commentary, interesting or otherwise. I expect that’ll get better as more people engage over here.
On the other hand, I haven’t been back to Reddit much since the great unleavening.
While this is interesting, it’s an op-ed and doesn’t belong in news.
