You know, I really am not looking to get off reddit because of the censorship thing. Honestly, I think it was overblown. FPH was just crap. Whatever valid points they might have had about "fat culture" was lost in their utterly boorish behavior. Good riddance.

What I can't abide by is having to wade through shitpost after shitpost, trying to find the one good comment in thousands, to reply, and either be ignored or downvoted into oblivion even if I spent a good amount of time writing a thoughtful reply... Reddit just scaled poorly, and this wasn't a problem with their tech, this was a problem with the underlying design.
