Stuck with the same problem, both Subscribed and All take me straight back to Local.

Who downvoted this? Conservatism has always been an ideology that's opposed to progress, democracy and freedom. It holds back society to preserve tradition and "family values" while promoting xenophobia, bigotry, and unquestioned submission to authority. The most conservative states in the United States are also some of the poorest, with the lowest standards of living, and also the most backwards. It isn't much different in other countries. The Nazis were conservative. Islamic countries with Sharia Law are conservative. And right now, American Conservatives are trying to implement a Christian-flavoured Sharia Law.

Have you not been paying attention to what's been going on? The protests have done serious damage to Reddit's reputation, the viability of its IPO, and is causing a significant drop in the number of users. Not to mention the loss of content creators and moderators who are necessary for the site to function. The protests are intentionally making the site unusable to bore and drive out those who are reasonable, and leaving only those who shill for and lick the boots of Spez and the rest of the incompetent administration team. And without content to consume, those people will leave as well.

Yeah, that's literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.

"JAQing off", as I've seen it be referred to. It's always in bad faith.

Reminds me of Hans Island, where there was a longtime border dispute between Canada and Denmark over a tiny island off of Newfoundland. They would each take each other's flag and replace it with their own, as well as a well known alcoholic beverage from each country. It was also settled peacefully, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"Our tech is cutting edge as far as I can tell, the Creation Engine's aging very well! We're not planning on doing anything about it"

And I haven't seen a single post that's just memes about why they pirate or how morally superior we are for doing so. It's a breath of fresh air.

Exactly. r/thedonald started as a tiny joke sub started by 4Chan that wasn't dealt with until it became a festering cesspool of hate that became big enough to be a serious problem, brigading other subs and spreading hateful rhetoric. It has to be nipped in the bud and made clear that it is not welcome.

And even so, it might just be another Ellen Pao situation where it's just a gesture to please everyone, meanwhile the new CEO keeps making things worse.

They've already shown their hand, so why should anyone trust them again even if they did backtrack? They've proven they don't care about us and are willing to go back on their words if it benefits them. I don't see any restoration of community faith in Reddit's administration.

And like cancer, it will eventually kill its host once things are beyond saving.
