My most frequented community (/r/hockey) didn't even try to move, so I have to stay because I love hockey and it's the biggest community. But goddamn is Reddit filled with so much more dumb shit now, just all kinds of weird self posts, people asking if a free game is worth it, why X thing is happening (and it's something they're doing wrong) and so many subs have just turned into random people with default usernames posting about things because they don't know how to Google it. It's so much worse since the downturn and I hope the admins feel it.
There's been a huge rush of new accounts posting shit that's clearly biased in favor of Russia, China, Iran et al too I've noticed. Like an overwhelming amount of articles that drown out any sort of balance or ability to discuss a topic.
