I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

Glad I ripped that band aid off already. Only reason I go there is for buildapcsales now.

I tried really hard to get the !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml community going here, but I got hit by someone running a script that massively downvoted all my posts going back a month, and it was really disheartening so I stopped.

Damn, that's just sad...

Definitely one of the downsides to the Fediverse. Makes it harder for one admin team to detect scripts and take action.
