    I remember when the most upvoted Reddit posts had about 1k upvotes, and it was the golden age of reddit.

      This made me look at my account’s top posts. Highest I ever gotten was 400 upvotes for a post on Android about Pocket now saying malware on android is not a thing 11 years ago.

      Then around too 20-ish of posts on small niche subs and meme subs generally around 5 - 8 years ago.

      I miss those times.

      I should help here but alas I am not my past self. It took me a long tine lurking back then to start posting, and it will take me a long tine to start posting here as well.

        Unironically, I often think about how maybe we should invite r/Europe to europe.pub, and then I’m like “nah fuck those guys”

      Yep. At a certain point the numbers dont matter. And reddits bot numbers are crazy.
