> never had to watch independent sites and projects get absorbed into Reddit and its abhorrent community
That’s not how Reddit works. Different people use different subreddits, there is no “community”.
The default subreddits have the opposite problem; they are so popular there is no “community” because the users are everyone on earth. You’re pretty much just saying you don’t like “everyone on earth”.
Which is fair because they’re quite bad at posting; that’s why AskReddit’s #1 post is, every week, yet another gender war question/sex question like “men, what do you think about women’s armpits?” or something.
