The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

Im here because I'm fucking stubborn.
I hate the Reddit app, give me back RIF and I'll abandon this place in a heartbeat. Give me a paid Reddit option to fuck the adds off and Ill take it. Ill pay $20 a month not to have to listen to you neckbeards to try and make literally every conversation about capitalism, linux or Trump.
Bunch of one note ass motherfuckers, you think I dont know the world sucks? I want some escapism for fuck sake.
You may want to try subscribing to non-political communities, and then browsing by subscribe. For example, here's a list of communities I subscribe to for when I don't want to read about politics:

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.
Arch btw
If Trump switched to Linux capitalism would fall
Pray to lord donny to be linux pilled 🙏 ramen
I keep getting banned for the dumbest shit these days. God forbid you insult Nancy pelosi for some reason. I got banned for jokingly saying "pour beans in his mouth" as petty revenge for someone farting in a CPAP. It's is getting dumbed down so bad over there
I’ve been banned on reddit for nothing so many times lol. People were saying something about a white person, and I made a very innocuous joke like “white people are the worst!” and I kid you not, some worthless reddit brained dumbfuck called me racist and told me to GTFO. I was perma banned. Stuff like that a million times over.
The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
Every time I catch a peek now it's the same Am I the Asshole (they're obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO????), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)
I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.
At this point I wouldn't go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.
If Reddit ever disclosed how many "users" were bots, I'm quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
For reddit I use RedReader, I don't know if that will be enough for you tho.
I dont care what you think.
