      I am not only on .world (actually started out there and moved over here), but yeah, for me that was the last straw. That official app is just an affront.

      Reddit is not even “liberal” anymore. The people on the conservative sub will say that it is but its been shifting rightward for years. There are a lot of people getting permad over things that in the past would have had broad agreement.

          It’s shifting from center “left” to libertarian right to match up with the ceo, and pretty soon will just be as bad as Twitter

      Most of us have started from the default programming. I didn’t get a lot of what I get today when I moved from Reddit. I know it can feel shitty to keep repeating the same things and make the same arguments over and over again but that’s the process of teaching.
