They killed their own product by allowing toxic communities to flourish, the disastrous redesign, walling off their web content to push their mobile app and force signups, closing off their API, etc; and more recently allowing AI-generated content to grow unchecked.

I’m shocked Google does not delist Reddit for their shitty web experience

If you are on mobile and you are not signed in you get the entire free site walled unless you sign in or go use the app

Google is supposed to show the best content at the top

Apart from those fake spyware pop ups I cannot think of a worse surfing experience

Unless it’s showing adverts first.

Google is definitely showing more linkedin and Facebook/meta/insta posts as search results.

The Reddit content Google serves is down. Around 50% less I’d say and the change started this month.

I started/run a old and moderately popular sub (top 100 in sports) and haven’t noticed any issues that we haven’t dealt with before.

We shut down during the blackout so it’s not like it’s all been easy.

I got stock a couple years ago, that’s about it and I thought that was nice having been on Reddit since 2006 or whatever.

That said we’re not a trash sub and take moderation extremely seriously.

I’d argue moderators taking themselves too seriously is precisely reddits problem, but okay.

[LexiMax]

Good online communities have active and engaged moderation.

That said, Reddit moderation seems stuck in a weird limbo where moderators have a lot of power on paper but completely ineffectual tooling to combat organized and systemic abuse.

Given those limitations I find it hard to imagine Reddit modding ending up any other way.

Judge for yourself but I’m extremely proud of our community

We have a thriving supportive community that has been a support group for 100 thousand people that run or want to learn to run ultramarathons
