All these people saying “who cares about Reddit” (or Twitter, or Threads, or whatever else) are also missing the fact that we live in a society and these platforms matter, politically speaking. If we allow them to become (or remain) fiefdoms for rich fucks to spread misinformation, that can have real-word detrimental effects for us no matter how much we try to ignore the platform. Don’t forget that this shit is happening just before the 2024 US presidential election, for example. Do we really want to be tolerating a Reddit-turned-into-Voat right about now?
It isn’t enough just to leave Reddit; it needs to be destroyed, too.
