I just checked it out because of this post, and I'm not really sold. It just seems... off? to me. Like the whole comments right next to the post thing and what not just made it more of a distraction than anything. I mean, it could be my adhd preventing me from focusing, but I just could feel myself becoming overwhelmed within the 5-10 minutes I was looking through it. I feel that lemmy/kbin is definitely more Reddit-like, and personally, less overwhelming. Good concept, maybe not-so-good execution for some people.

And not just minor NSFW subs, but some of the biggest ones that probably drove a lot of revenue for content creators outside of Reddit. They literally are killing off revenue streams in protest. That’s a big thing that people who are affected by it will remember.
Yea, similar to Tumblr, they fell hard and now people use it dramatically less than before their NSFW decision to the point that now that they’ve allowed that content again no one really cares. Tumblr will always be seen as “the website that died after banning NSFW content.”
It’s quite possible Reddit will be seen as “the website that died because they backstabbed third party developers.”
Yeah, I thought Soulseek went the way of Limewire and Kazaa when things like Pirate Bay and whatnot became go-to sites…
I mean, back in the day it was amazing, anything I wanted I could just about find. Random One Hit Wonder Japanese pop-punk band that I only heard about in passing? Yeah I could find their whole discography on Soulseek. It was awesome. I wish I could remember that band now..
