              Closed source (honestly, I'd rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of...)
It's annoying, slow and tedious
Works better in Chrome™ (I can't even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma...)
It's a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes...
The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
Dark patterns everywhere
They block Tor users
(I can think of many more but need I go on?)

I was going to post some gripes, but you've really covered them comprehensively.

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

O see nothing wrong with censoring and making fun of MLM content. (Multi Level Marketing)

[–] AceKat@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, maybe OP has something to do with them? They teach to stay away from MLM everywhere, it's not just reddit. And that's positive, because it's a scam

[–] SloppilyFloss@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago

MLM in this case refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, not Multi-Level Marketing.

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

lol MLM in this context means Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

But I also see nothing wrong with making fun of these MLMs.

this is one of the best misinterpretations of an acronym I have ever seen

This. ^

We might be visiting different sites because the reddit I know is anti-right. Most popular news subreddits like /r/politics are actually US-democratic party echo chambers.

[–] IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Have you ever visited r/europe or r/worldnews?

[–] MarcellusDrum@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

I have. They are mostly made up of leftists actually. Not extreme left, but left nonetheless.

[–] IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Hmm, I don't think so (I guess because we have different conceptions of what is alt-right). But, do you agree with the rest of what I wrote?

[–] MarcellusDrum@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

Yeah, the rest I agree with. I also hate the move towards profiles and more attention to the individual.
