Funny, nothing the admins have done have affected your content
Not only are you quoting me out of context, but you're also cherry-picking details in order to instigate an argument. Let me help you out with your trolling, before leaving you to your affairs:
Look, I honestly don't give a damn where I read the news. Reddit is convenient because it's all gathered into one nexus of information, with each specific interest having it's own little mini-dimension that I can hang out in. If you folks continue to fuck up (as has been the trend over the years), and a better, more convenient, site shows up to replace you, I have no qualms about leaving.
There are three key points there:
Keep in mind that I don't really care what mistakes Reddit has made, or will make. My only point in bringing that up is that *other platforms* will see those mistakes, learn from them, and (hopefully) improve upon them. If a more convenient application shows up that makes my consumption of content easier, I don't mind leaving.
Someone mentioned Voat.co earlier. If Voat.co does what Reddit does, and does it better, then it is very likely that I will move there. I left IRC for forums (PHP Nuke, etc), MySpace for Facebook, Digg for Reddit. Nothing is different about Reddit: it will not be the last information portal that the internet has.
Another thing that's funny is that you assume that this was the only account I've had over the years since Reddit was launched, which is rather inane. This account is relatively new, but I've been here for quite a while. In addition to that, not all of my interests are pursued here on Reddit, for a myriad of reasons (dead or nonexistent subs, or other sites are better than the subs here, etc).
Bye. Enjoy your downvotes.

Nope. Your first comment's key point was "If you folks continue to fuck up (as has been the trend over the years)", as if that was the crux of your comment. Perhaps you didn't mean it, but that's how it came across. And never did I assume this is your first account. And of course other platforms will show up, nothing lasts forever (is that your whole point? Because reddit already knew that... Everyone knows that). But, my point is that neither banning of harassing subs nor firing Victoria directly affected your content; you still have "each specific interest having it's own little mini-dimension that I can hang out in." Maybe the admins fucked up something else years ago, before I was here, but apparently it wasn't enough to drive you or most people away, and it hasn't given another platform an upper hand.
Thanks for the downvotes. You've apparently "been here for quite a while", yet you still use the downvote button as a disagree button and have no idea what "trolling" is (or worse, you think anyone with a different opinion is a troll).
