I got tired of the BS surrounding /r/fatpeoplehate and Victoria's firing. I don't particularly care for what happened (don't have a position per se) but the crap that hit the frontpage for these two events really pissed me off. Mysoginistic, racist, hateful... I realized I was ashamed of being part of that community as a whole.
Things have calmed down over there, so I've been back from time to time. I think coming to Snapzu has shown me the truth of reddit... The content just isn't that great anymore. Truly insightful or funny posts are few and far between, and that's even true of non-defaults.
I still visit reddit on occasion, but something's broken in terms of my affection for that site. If Snapzu grows and gives me more daily content, I doubt I'll need reddit any longer. For now, my only problem with Snapzu is a lack of frequent new content; typically, a visit a day is enough to see everything.
Hehe. Well, not everything everything... When I visit I go over the first 5-10 pages of the front page, then check the New snaps for a while. Further visits during the day usually mean very little new content, so I don't really bother.
Yeah, I go check out individual tribes on occasion. Haven't really delved in the Following feed just yet... I'm more interested in content than in comments from specific users.
