I thought most people moved from Reddit due to the way the platform was managed with AI stuff and the API
admins, monetization, AI moderators (I got banned for telling people NOT to use "gay" as an insult), advertisements, privacy rights violations, and spez.
if I can read the content without all that ^ shit, then I'm all for it. leech their content, give them nothing.
I left because Steve Huffman destroyed everything good about it in the name of money.
Not only did he destroy it, but he was a smug shithead about it.
Those things had a cascade effect.
API change > 3rd party tools moderators depended on no longer functioned > mods quit because they could no longer manage the subs effectively > the one sub I spent most of my reddit time on is now unrecognizable, filled with alt-right nut bars, 3/4 of which I assume are bots.
I don't want a bridge because reddit today is not at all the reddit I used to get some entertainment from. Or I guess go ahead with a bridge, I'll just block it and go about my merry way.
That was the straw but it was a progressively degrading experience for years before that
