Unfortunately when it comes to gaming specifically, Reddit is an amazing source of consersation and discussion that outlets like Youtube or Twitch simply do not offer.

But the more I use Reddit lately, the more it really does feel like they’re trying to kill off conversation. Like, the fact that you have to log in now to sort comment types, is a big red flag. I understand that people who spend most of their time on Reddit reading through comments are people who are not seeing Ads, but it still sucks.

That being said, if Reddit does eventually shift away from being a place for community, discussion, etc – then I have hope at least that the fediverse or something like it will take its place.
