in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

All the new crap that theyve added in the last 3-5 years. Chat, spamming me with "recommended" reddits, constantly asking for my interests, slow as hell site, avatars, NFTs,..

Relay and old.reddit really kept me sheltered. I knew chat was a thing but I managed to avoid the rest. That all sounds awful.

Ugh chat. The only reason I had the official app, and every part of it was under protest. But the makeup resell subreddit was an absolute steal for unused, still sealed product, I probably both 10s of thousands of dollars of high end makeup for pennies on the dollar over the last 12 years. But the second chat was introduced all the sellers used that instead of pms.

Fuck the recommended subs bullshit. I was a frequent poster and reader of r/personalfinance so reddit kept recommending r/povertyfinance. One look through that led me to block the sub, but it kept popping up anyways. Same with subs for specific cities even though I don't live anywhere near them.

Don't forget at one point they wanted to copy Clubhouse too!
