I used to love reddit when it was more like this too.

2008-2012 reddit was amazing.

Right around 2011 is when it first started getting too hivemindy, not in the fun way where people have the same thoughts but where ideas and ideals started getting so aligned that people with simply different opinions were being downvoted to the point of oblivion.

2016 is when this got kicked into high gear.

2020 is when reddit effectively died.

I'm not sure why I am still here at this point, except that the alternatives all suck too.

When I use Cloudhiker from my browser on PC, I sometimes "overclick" and end up jumping past something that I realize too late is of interest. Unfortunately, I can't go back, and my browser does not record my visit in the browser history, so the site is forever lost to me. Perhaps there is a Cloudhiker history list that could help, but I haven't gone much deeper than clicking the Stumble button so far. I used SU several years ago and really enjoyed it. The privacy issues that make it necessary to click through to many sites makes this a clunkier alternative to the original, but I still like it and would use it more often if there was a way to "go back." Thanks for the clicks!

With all the super easy web building tools and CMS systems I'm not sure why this isn't a thing again. Especially with how advanced social media is. You could easily have an interface to change a ton of settings and make your fb or insta look a specific way, play annoying ass music, and all kinds of shit.
