The only place I don't see frontpage news about what's happening with Reddit is on Reddit. (kbin.social)

I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.

Weirder still - they won't let you control your own speech due to poor data and systems architecture (at best).

The way their API and database is set up only indexes a portion of your comments, and forbids you from accessing them if another "authority" cuts you off (private subs) - which leaves your ability to delete, modify, or otherwise manage what you have input into the site.
