I remember when HB federated I would click over to the all tab occasionally, it was largely image generated slop or Redditor tier posts that I hadn't had to interact with for years at that point that made me realize what an oasis it is here.
No idea why they decided to leave reddit only to make it into another reddit. I was reading some reddit stuff the other day, and my god, just so much casual hostility towards each other there, no compliments sounded genuine, people seemed afraid to actually be sincere or commit to an opinion for fear of being "wrong" and just so many posts being creative writing exercises with no attempt to even make them sound realistic.
It was some protest about the API and losing their 3rd party apps.
