I don’t mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

    Did anyone do that with reddit? It used to be open source too.

        Oh that reminds me, Voat happened. It wasn’t a code fork but a clone, and it was also filled with right-wing garbage.

        Tildes is still around too, but I think it’s got even less traction than lemmy.

        Old reddit was just the old UI. IMO, old UI was way better than new UI.

        The reddit open source stuff was only a portion of the website and algorithm. I believe Voat and a few others might have glanced at that code. Last I looked it was still up on GitHub. https://github.com/reddit
