I remember how was Reddit 10 years ago... It was a very open and permissive place. Only very bad things were prohibited at that time (pedophilia, rape, murder, etc.).

It is now ran by people/corporations with a political agenda.

Let's see how https://ruqqus.com will do as a Reddit alternative. I give it a chance! The algorithms are open-source so there is no manipulation.

Yep, r/videos is so locked down you don't get anything relevant other than some old cat video repost.

/r/movies had posters who literally and out in the open said they were employed by netflix to post netflix videos they said their manager thought reddit would like.

I avoided the place ever since then. That was about 4 years ago.

I pick my subreddits and I never look at the default/popular ones. There are some topics/interests for which Reddit is still the place to be, sadly.
