I didn’t even wait that long. The site has been going noticably shitward for a long time. Powertripping mods with absolutely no sense of sarcasm or (gasp) humor, complete asshole userbase, comments and posts getting more and more idiotic. I still have an account but I don’t feel any need to go there anymore. Reddit was a certain day-spoiler, retrospectively.
Followed by a short period of separation of content and layout that was ended by returning to the stone age of client-specific Javascript. Another example of “why we can’t have good things”.
