Seriously considering closing my Reddit account. It’s not worth it. And their corporate attitude don’t align with my values.
@numericcitizen Why close it? Why not just not use it?
Reddit has its flaws, but at this point, they are the only large corporate silo that prioritizes healthy conversation. To me, that's a big deal. And I get a lot of entertainment, information and other value from it.
What about their corporate attitude do you find disagreeable? The CEO is a jerk — that much is true.
@MitchW there are similarities between Reddit and X.... Exhibit A: CEO is a jerk. Exhibit B: closing out APIs. If I'm not closing it, why keep it, then? For what purpose?
@numericcitizen Keep it because you might need it at some point?
One difference between Reddit and X is that the CEO of Reddit is not a Nazi.
@numericcitizen just don’t use it so you can keep that username at least.
Good to sometime log in and check the “pulse” then log out. That’s what I’m doing with Xitter nowadays too.
@starrwulfe @numericcitizen I check Twitter daily out of habit, but I find it uninteresting. I’m not seeing any of the hate speech other people report, but I’m not seeing much interesting either.
