Does this subreddit feel more like the original Reddit to anyone else?

Yes, it does.

I never really used Reddit until recently tbqh (due to other online communities drying up). I saw the upvote/downvote system for what it was, and knew it would lead to a circle-jerk culture where only the most pedantic of ideas can be seen.

I miss the days of old-school forums where everything was presented chronologically. The people who had influence were the ones who could contribute. It makes sense that giving lurkers a way to participate would increase popularity, but all it does in the end is give power to people who can't form their own thoughts. On top of that, no matter how open a community on Reddit is, there's always that part in the back of your mind trying to make sure every post is worded in such a way where it is easily understood so that upvotes from mouth-breathers will increase its visibility.

I’m banned from most big subreddits. You dare to go against the narrative they will ban you. Plus there are power mods who mod over 100 big subreddits. This sub will eventually be banned.

No, the original Reddit was mostly talking about programming and startups... I see no similarities...

Probably a lot of programmers and sys admins here lol

Was Reddit like voat before the sjw takeover? I've been shadowbanned here for merely broaching on unapproved topics.

Generally, as more and more people start to use something, it becomes normie. When reddit was unpopular it was kind of like 4chan. A shadow of the internet where most users were smart. As reddit became more and more popular, simps and idiots came to dominate the general population and trashed it. Subs like mgtow are still good, but most subs are an absolute shit show.

Now chicks obsessed with phones have invaded most internet male spaces.
