Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great, before making it terrible.

There’s a balance in there somewhere. What we got ain’t it tho.

Reddit was never great lmaoo

It was a pedo networking tool reknowned worldwide for it's jailbate and non-consensual creepshots. These moderators received awards from admins. Then it got too much attention and got a PR workover, burning a woman CEO at the stake to satiate the gamer-fascists before becoming a bland Atlanticist CIA sockpuppet front of bland corporate posts.

At no point during this entire thing did it ever approach anything comparable to greatness

I meant the platform more than the company.

It’s my favorite format for social media… that’s why I’m on lemmy.

I guess 'a lot of free spare time in a socialized copitalism' made lemmy.
