I didn’t believe this when I first heard about it but it’s looking more true everyday
Nobody uses reddit. The exodus did more damage than people thought. This doesn’t surprise me.
I mean a lot of us still use reddit, you can just ignore the main site and focus on your niche communities
Which is exactly what an NPC would say.
Never trust a default username
[adjective] [noun] [3-4 digits] is always a sign of bad news, on social media and Xbox Live
And here I thought making a default username looking one was a good idea…
Cutesy auto generated names are too useful for bots, the lazy, and fans of cutesy name combos.
Should have made defaults your approximate IP geolocation. I’m kidding of course for privacy reasons, but a little similar motivation to think about a better name during creation couldn’t hurt (looking at Reddit here).
Edit: but hey - maybe it’s not desirable for one to be able to distinguish users. I wonder… nah, Reddit would never… 😒
I don’t know about that. I now stick to default names after HR told my department to help them identify some leakers on reddit.
Just paid a visit. It’s really gotten bad. Horrible titles that make little sense. People falling over each other to make tired quips instead of conversation, and the rest to point out how someone is wrong or one-up the commenter.
That’s what it has been like for years now.
Reddit went to shit when the zoomers flooded in, arguably the late 90’s kids aswell
