Let's not gatekeeping: reddit isn't just a random-website. The technology logic behind it works, it's just got an "unfortunate CEO situation" just like Twitter/X.
It being on reddit wasn't the point. Based on the source, you could have skipped the whole Kotaku (or whatever website is sleuthing reddit for content) bit and just reported the news directly.
I dislike how we're giving these outlets clicks when the source is a non-journalist on a message board. Let's skip the middleman when they are not vital in the reporting.
It doesn't work though, because it's a toxic shit den. Reddit is a prime example of the evils of social media.
Lemmy and the fediverse, for now, have largely managed to escape the toxicity. Probably because you have to work a little harder at getting here. Well that, and there's no evil overlord at the top, shitting down on everyone.
