Hacker News Reader

I had this happen. It was the final nail in Reddit’s coffin for me. I never made another account and didn’t use the site at all for 6-12 months after that. Now, I might occasionally end up there from a web search, or look at the front page to see if there was anything big (there isn’t), but I never made another account and never will.

The site is going downhill, let them dig their own grave.

You mean let them digg their own grave? ;)

It makes me sad, because there are many individual communities on Reddit that are quite wholesome and useful -- I've found that setting up multireddits and sorting by "top" with a time period of 24 hours is a good way to surface infosec news for example.

I had migrated over when Google killed reader, and moving back, it's overwhelming and distracting to have so many sources marked as unread -- the voting was useful for separating wheat from chaff.

Unsubscribing from everything and using multis is exactly how I use Reddit too. There are parts that don't suck.

I want to look to see if anything exciting has happened in a category, not be pushed 950 cat photos. Unless that's what I'm looking for, of course.
