What Jamie wrote
This is a bit of a love letter to Reddit, the site that I've never gone that deep in, but always think I should give it a deeper look.
Giving users this much control over a major social platform is basically unheard-of anymore. It’s a throwback to the early web, when people had to tend to the sites they wanted to be a part of, and it’s a stark contrast to the way other social-media sites have evolved.
The structure of Reddit definitely got more things right than wrong. If you dig Reddit, check out r/WeeklyThing. And if the Reddits you join say something about you, one of my favorites is r/candlemaking. 😊
