Reddit is dying. I've been on it since 2007 or so and it has completely changed from it's original manifestation. More importantly, the most dramatic change happened directly before the 2016 election. (And we all know why)

It's a shitshow now with a handful of sjw power-mods controlling the biggest subreddits.

Like Digg, Fark, Myspace, reddit will soon find it's place in the trash pile of websites people don't use anymore. And they did it to themselves.

The powermod situation is really out of control on reddit. Look at the mods of any massive subreddit and you can see their extreme political bias just from the list of other subreddits they run. I hope this site spreads out the power a little more. I think it's great that they have rate limits on making new subreddits so one user can't just spend all day registering all the obvious default sub names.

Those mods didn't start through subs, there was a stealthy takeover by srs sick puppets getting nodded then the other mods would get invited until they forced out the moderate veterans. it can happen here easily enough, maybe faster since the SOP is standardized.
