    Yep, so much of Reddit is like that… Creating an adversarial relationship with users …and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.

    Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.

      also some communities have their mods completely replaced since Reddit’s api changes, because the former mods didn’t want to cooperate

      I discovered that it happened for r/piracy and it’s one of the main reasons I got to lemmy since they have a big community here

      anyway it makes sense that these replaced mods hate the community, it’s the reason they are there in the first place

      Consider so many people still use X, never underestimate how much self inflicted pain a user is willing to endure over changing their lifestyle.
