I just listened to that episode of upvoted, as I was feeling a little more ok with reddit when they brought back Steve as CEO. 'oh hay they listened and did something.... maybe Alexis isn't that bad'. Honestly while their podcast is a little bit of a circlejerk, it is well produced and mostly interesting. Even though Alexis said some dumb shit in the early days of the victoria clusterfuck, he apologized and I thought maybe he gained a little self awareness.
Then I went and looked at the subreddit post about the podcast and saw this.... then I saw the top post in r/technology about Alexis throwing Ellen Pao under the bus.
Its a total shit show. Voat please please stay up consistently so I can put down permanent roots and not fall back in to my reddit addiction.
I deleted reddit is fun after Pao's initial response to the mod blackout, it was a rough couple of days before I finally decided to check out Voat. Deleting the app really helped with staying away.
I listened to that podcast for like 5 of 6 episodes, but unsubscribed for the amount of bullshit positivity in the face of adversity that went into EVERY story. Whenever I saw it I was thinking, "time for my weekly dose of Reddit/liberal techie propaganda!"

I can see the reddit propaganda, its always a little much. If they toned that down a bit they could have a really good show there.... but I think you might be using the word 'liberal' a little liberally there.

I've already deleted Alien Blue from my phone. I'm forcing myself to stay away!

It's hard but it gets easier...I have been on Reddit for a total of about 5 minutes in the last week...and hours on Voat.

Man, i haven't had a single issue getting on the last few days. Cloudfare is certainly earning its keep.
