Some subreddits require a certain level of karma to be able to post or reply to comments. I don’t know if that was to help against bots or people who would make an account to avoid a ban or something. Other than that karma was just an ego boost for those who cared about such things.
Getting rid of old reddit is a given at this point.
And since u/spez is following the Elon business model, I would imagine locking content behind a paywall is next.
It stopped about 2200 US eastern time for me…at least that’s when I noticed it. I uninstalled and then deleted my Reddit account. I’m all in on the fediverse!
There’s definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don’t have a problem learning a new paradigm. I’m sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.
Most of us are new here. It’s like the great Digg migration years back!
Learning a new platform is fun, and I can’t wait to see this take off as Reddit becomes a shell of it’s former self.
I just deleted all three of my Reddit accounts. I hope a lot of others do the same!
It’s just beginning!

Same here. Once Apollo stopped working, I deleted my 5 year, 14k karma account. Fuck Reddit and fuck u/spez.
At first I did feel that way. But as my engagement with reddit went down it felt like my life improved.
