I remember reddit was constantly advertised by their users as a more "elite" platform and everyone was moving to it at digg 2.0 times. What I seriously started getting curious about is: Did the collective IQ level drop on Reddit, way before the API golden shot? I sometimes share my opinion there and very interesting things happen. They clearly "don't get it". The scene of my native language (Turkish) went totally hopeless. Think like Storm Front for Turkish audience. It all happened in 3–4 years, they say, after Bitcoin madness.

Well..clearly the guardian does get paid under the rocks to STFU about Lemmy and Raddle.me and I never "donated to them because I don't got much money but used to on common dreams(fuck them and Jake for not listening to obvious solutions and gripe with none of the answers I have and they don't listen to) and when I get paid enough, prolly in February, I'll be donating a little bit to Grist. Now, never will it be to theguardians.
