A community for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar.

I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.

Alternative explanation: People for whom this is important are left reddit and are here, upvoting, discussing. People who do not care are still no Reddit and because they don't care, they are not upvoting or discussing such things.

To be honest, I am not sure I believe myself to this explanation, but I wanted to mention it. Who knows.

I see no reason it can't be both. Reddit doesn't want people to care, and people on reddit in fact don't care.
