Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it’s the Dead Internet Theory in action.

I’m more impressed that they can use a gamepad for CLI input.

OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

• Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
• Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
• It was mostly settled by white people from England.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

I see they’re following the Tumblr model:

• Get bought at overinflated values.
• Ban all NSFW content.
• Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
• Valuation plummets.
• “Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We’re just going to try best efforts moderation only.”
• Sell at near total loss.
• There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.

The people are all gone, the Langoliers just haven’t shown up yet.
