The platform seems to be converging on a Reddit-like culture complete with arguments, rage bait and trolling as the normies pour in.

    Yeah.

    June was glorious. It was like the internet of the 1990s all over again. There wasn’t a lot of content, but what there was was posted by actual people who would actually engage in good faith. I had forgotten what that felt like.

    But it’s been all downhill from there, and at this point, it’s starting to feel like Reddit, just on a smaller scale. More all the time, I’m just seeing rage bait that’s posted either by a bot or by a person who might as well be a bot, and if I bother to respond to it, it’s likely that if I get any response at all, it’s just going to be a string of shallowly emotive rhetoric and fallacies that again is either posted by a bot or by a person who might as well be a bot.

    I’m cynically unsurprised but still disappointed.
