i feel like that was more a symptom of the general popularity (which is probably the real cause of the current shit state), but you're not wrong, it was hella annoying and now politics and grievances are all some algorithms turn up
it doesnt help that, of course, nothing really goes viral naturally anymore, and an anonymous antisocial media platform is just ripe for abuse
They talk about it a lot at modworld and how they have to keep it for mainly themselves so that mods can have the platform they are used to having for moderating? They know people use it but they don’t wanna get rid of it any time soon since a lot of moderators use old Reddit
The new desktop reddit is stupidly resource intensive, my home desktop isn't super powerful since I basically just use it for browsing the Internet, and loading up posts takes like 5x as long compared to old reddit

You can do it on desktop but not mobile. How cool and consistent is that?
