I would say that I was slowly tiring of reddit. Sure it was the place that I frequented the most, but that was until the mass exodus where we had to find other places. I didn't find this place from /r/redditalternativess/ rather from a comment on HackerNews in regards to putting new servers on to help with the influx.
I like when the people behind a platform are the developers and not just someone calling the shots and whipping the devs when ever they want new features or people banned.
Ditto. I could probably go so far to say that I got addicted to reddit, in the way some users get addicted to Twitter or Instagram. But I was always curious about the dark stories behind closed doors, about power users and shady subreddits. /r/conspiracy was a guilty pleasure of mine. With the latest shitstorm, I made a conscious decision to move on from reddit. Not only because I no longer respected the platform, but also because I felt it was time to move on.
Reddit started much in the same way as all community platforms do, built and maintained by developers. But when your site gets ~500 million pageviews per month, that system is no longer viable.
As much drama that's been going on recently.. I still love reddit.
