They say that "Hell is other people" and when I have to share it with TikTokers, nothing could be more true!

The "hell is other people" are the friends we made along the way.

Perfect example of a holier than thou redditor.

Seriously, it's like they never even looked at the app. They out themselves by saying it was all brainrot content when TikTok is easily more steady than Reels is at showing you steady content instead of being all over the place.

Oh no... I used TikTok. How else would I commune all my fellow Flatearthers? You're sounding oddly like a "rounder."

All shortform content is brainrot content.

Reddit has become shortform content. Maybe 10+ years ago it was actual news, stories, interesting self posts on the front page. However now it's just headlines and easily digested memes. There's not a whole lot of substance here.

After the whole API debacle and getting rid of 3rd party apps, I mostly quit Reddit. However r/all was on a steeply decline from 2014-2016, and since then, been little substance there.
