I am also enjoying all the drama...hilarious. Although, like OP said, it is very bizarre to watch and I was also quite surprised that big news is reporting on it. I am kind of sad, on the other hand. I liked reddit originally, then it all just seemed to spiral dowards into a cluster-f.

I've been checking out alternatives and am liking Snapzu so far - it can at least handle the influx of refugees relatively well.
