I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.
One of my most favorite subs used to have the usual lovely posts and interactions. After the drama, one mod just posts a daily question. It’s boring. Hardly anybody responds. I don’t think people are allowed to post freely anymore, because it’s just full of these boring questions. One way to take down your subreddit.
Thousands of mods have moved on. The ones that left are probably doing fire control or nothing. It shows on how much spam is everywhere suddenly.
