It was easier to leave digg back then. The 'normie' non-techie audience wasn't as big in the era and they mostly stuck to MySpace and buzzfeed. Digg was where the tech nerds went and thus the nerds had the power.

The non-techies are now the largest user base of reddit and they don't care about the changes and will continue their usage. The executives know this and are moving things to curtail to that audience. These are the same people that don't run adblock or ghostery and will click on ads and pay for awards.

Huffman doesn't give a shit about us or the small niche communities we have created. Forums are dead. Reddit powers Google. He wants to turn reddit into a social media platform, as it sorta already has become.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
