Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I was a daily heavy user of Reddit. I was an Eternian and a Centurion. I haven't spent an hour total on Reddit since July 1.

What the hell is an eternian/centurion?

[–] Speculater 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he's saying he likes horses and centaurs. Not sure how that applies to using Reddit though.

Would centaurs fall under the furry category? I'd imagine you don't upset the furries. Most of them work in IT

I was being a tool. I was in Eternity Club which is s private sub for people who had hit the front page. I got there by luck. I was also a member of Century Club, a private sub for people who had either 100,000 comment karma or post karma. I got there with comment karma without karma whoring over 7 years. Neither of them means anything. Eternity was kind of cool but very slow. Century was fucking annoying.

It helps that their app is absolute shit.

No, i don’t want to see whatever popular fluff is out there while I’m browsing the things I’m interested in, fuck off.

I only use Reddit for the nsfw stuff - it’s still the best platform - but every time I’m in between pictures on my account where I’m only subbed to porn and Reddit shoehorns posts of people asking for legal advice, students looking for university housing tips in a city 100 km from here, highly inspiring LinkedIn video from mademesmile or whatever pedestrian trash… man. Just let me wank.

Same here. The only time I've been on reddit since was for tech support.

Being in Eternal Club just means you got lucky once. You need to work for CC.

[–] MapleEngineer 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It wasn't luck! I posted about my maple syrup system and spent 24 hours answering 1,000 comments and questions. It was hard work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

User name checks out, I guess.

[–] xkforce 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Huh.. didnt realize I am a centurion over there. I.e 100k+ karma

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not combined?

[–] xkforce 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No not combined. I got into CC off my comment karma. I make no effort to get post karma so that is minimal by comparison anyway. Ive just never heard us being called centurions before
