It’s probably less “wanting to see a sexting thread with a child” and more “curious what this asshole said that was inappropriate.” Not that absurd.

For example, if your coworker got fired for saying something inappropriate, would your first question not be, “what did they say that got them fired?”

Kind of a natural human reaction to be curious.

You can also wear a hat with the brim sticking straight out to the side and get the same results.

I’ll either put my phone down for those three to five seconds or just force close the app. I don’t care about IG that much.

Poor leadership causes layoffs. Give them money now and you’ll be asking the same question a year from now.

He deserves all three of those Grammys.

When Reddit killed Apollo I deleted my ten year old account and never went back.

Haven’t been back since I deleted my account after the blackout. No Apollo, no Reddit.

I’ve scrolled past this headline at least twenty different times because it’s posted everywhere….

A dude got stabbed in the arm.

Is that it, or am I missing something that makes it a big deal?

Squabbles is pretty good if you use the Pulse app, but I get more of a The Chive vibe from there rather than Reddit. Plus they don’t allow NSFW there so meh.

Kbin and Lemmy seem the most promising but time will tell.

It was easier for me to leave once I said fuck it and just deleted my account.

It’s also easier accepting that Reddit just won’t be the same ever again no matter what. Shit is changing. It had already been slowly changing over the years as it became more popular. Quality of content has been declining for a while.

It used to just get a little shitty in the summer when kids were on summer break, but as it became more popular the seasonal change became less noticeable.

Now every thread on Reddit always has some dork talking about how “wE aRe NOw in thE FinD ouT pHasE” (or some variation of “fuck around, find out) like they are saying something original or clever.
