I mean, I totally get it. People keep posting (according the the mod) stuff like “DRONES ARE SPYING ON ME”, of course, who’d want to moderate that shit? I’m glad the user decided to quit, and not have to babysit weirdos spamming conspiracy theories. (Its unpaid anyways, why even do it if the conspiracy-therory-filled community doesn’t appreciate it)

Welp, that’s a subreddit shutdown I haven’t seen for a while. Good luck to whoever is next to deal with weird conspiracy shit.

    Niche communities used to be all over the place on a bunch of sites and forums, and only kind of recently (last 10 years or so) converged on Reddit. The way “it’s on another website” became enough to deter people from visiting makes it feel like we have collectively managed to forget that the internet isn’t exclusively made out of the top 10 most visited sites… :(
