    Wow, jesus. When I read this post’s title, I assumed it was being hyperbolic and that they just changed the name of /r/all or something.

    Nope. The literal “Front Page of the Internet” that made Reddit what it is is gone. Staggering. What an unrecognizable, catastrophic shithole that place has turned into in the four years since I’ve been I was on it as an active user. (Edit: As in “I left four years ago”; didn’t recognize the dual meaning.)

        Other way around. I left there four years ago having used it actively for effectively a decade. Sorry, that was bad phrasing on my part.

        Remember when Reddit was open source? I can’t even remember when it was made closed source. Holy fuck spaz is a cunt.

        The new reddit design was a pure cancer. I still use old.reddit links because when I tick in settings to opt out of new design, reddit unticks it for me every single fucking month

        Man, reddit hasn’t been good since Victoria got canned. No scratch that, at least 3 years before that.

      Didn’t r/all and r/popular become identical after they started filtering NSFW from r/all quite a few years ago? I couldn’t tell the difference after that change at least. It honestly makes sense to delete one of them if they’re the same.

      Edit: Never mind, apparently they removed r/popular too.
