Censorship killed it.

I can see naked college girls that probably don't know they're on the net, but they banned fathate because it offended fat people...

Voat.co will be its replacement.
even if voat had a snowball's chance in hell of handling reddit's traffic, it's already too infected with the dregs of society from reddit's earlier 'censorship' binges (cp, fph, etc) to ever replace reddit in the internet mainstream.

If my reddit usage goes down, I'll probably just become a more active OT-er again.

Apparently some people think this has to do with the Jesse Jackson AMA. He got grilled
there have been far worse AMAs. there's no way the two events are related.

maybe that's why this thread is anchored

if anything Chicken should be cheering it on. Maybe advertise on /r/CFB.

I remember when I heard about reddit via y combinator.

Spent about two weeks on it and found it was a cesspool.

Funny to see it crash and burn

So sort of like Reddit was before it went mainstream?

Ok.
