Rather than that, I am frankly amazed that the site largely works after firing 80% of its workforce. It's staggering.

But in the push to become public the site becomes worse and worse.

First they created the "new" reddit, which is picture and ad driven. This might bring in stupid people, but kills usability and long term harms quality discussion.

Then they started to not so subtly push the new reddit: you need to go there to setup cookies, the site "accidently" turns it on like once per month, things dont work in old reddit (e.g. polls).

Now they killed i.reddit (aka .compact reddit) what kills the smooth phone experience. When I open reddit on phone now, like every page takes 5 seconds to load, then nags me to install their app, then is unreadable mess.

Since Im ranting: oh how much I miss the reddit toolbar (top comments on one part of the screen and website on other). I wish there was an addon that could emulate it - perhaps by opening two separate windows somehow and gluing them.

And, again, Reddit hasn’t had an 80% workforce cut (though it sorely needs it).

It's fine to note that they are both bad and both mean culpability and liability, but pretending they are literally the same thing is the worst kind of rhetorical device.

Does it surprise me that his detractors would claim he is “neo-nazi-friendly”? Not in the slightest. The “anti-fascists” routinely claim the people they brutalize are fascist nazis - it’s a form of projection / deflection.
