I use this a lot IRL. Loved Bojack.
Reddit has entered the "milk this bitch dry" phase of any publicly traded company. Took longer than I thought it would, honestly. They haven't exactly made great choices for the user base. I'm sure the shareholders are stoked, though.
If someone still has a Reddit account, people in that thread are looking for alternatives.

I'm always cautious with large subs and direct links, they tend to remove those quite quickly
God bless you for linking to old.reddit.com. I wonder if this will be the year they get rid of it.
lol, fuck reddit
Wow
I read this a few hours back and it's just come back on my feed, I got to say this is a terrible move from reddits part but hopefully we can get people moving away from there onto the better systems as more people learn about it.
