How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    Here and unfortunately there too. Because movie and tv series discussions don’t exist yet in here so i have to use reddit for that. But now i only use it for like 20 Minutes a day instead of 1-2 hours + now i block ads. So yeah it did something

        That’s just movie news. What i want is discussions. You know like there are subreddits like r/blackmirror and they post a ‘black mirror Season 6 ep 1 discussion.’ and everyone post there opinions after watching it

      Do you really need to? I could understand for like mental health or financial advice, but I don’t think like entertainment is that essential to keep using and participating on reddit. Which is the worst since participating is content creation that increases engagement from other users who then respond to the comment.

      Anyways I recommend a reddit front end if you must like libreddit or teddit. And Stealth for Android which is an app that lets you use a teddit front end. No account and use of front ends for less data for Reddit to collect is the ideal way to go if lurking must be done.

        I do really need sometimes. You know some movies/episodes hit so hard that impossible to not talk to others about it, but i have nobody irl that watch that type of stuff so i have to talk with internet strangers.

        Also yeah for mental health too.

          I miss imdb and rotten tomatoes having forums. It used to be nice when there were many different avenues for discussion wherever you went online.

          I did a search for tv and movie forum so came across this place

          https://www.avforums.com/forums/tv-show-forum.55/

          So there are places to discuss out there. Just have to break the habit of the one stop shop we got used to which has proved to be very problematic with how it has led to growth of companies like Facebook going from a social media company until it becomes so entrenched and hard to quit their influence started expanding beyond the startup that began without ads and treated users well, and stated gobbling up competitors and getting into new sectors.

          It all just seems like a simple social media, but it’s scary how that can quickly turn and next thing you know it’s another billion dollar corporation. Who knows how the growth people like us contributed to reddit will turn out. Might be we created another future Facebook type entity.

      I still circle back because there’s still just way more discussion on Reddit. I’m still using RiF though, so I can’t post or vote
