Unlike other social media platforms, I perceive a lower level of "centralization of power" on Reddit (such as in the comparison of X Musk, IG, FB Zuckerberg, which are starting to become politically tinged).

I'm starting to see this place as a more reliable and balanced source of information, where discussions can be held at a high level, perhaps also due to sometimes stricter moderation.

I was reading Reddit s announcement about their new verified profiles with grey checkmarks for public figures and businesses. It s opt-in, mainly for AMAs or official updates and Reddit says it s about clarity, not status.

Some people see it as a helpful trust signal, while others worry it could quietly become a status symbol.

The Reddit iOS and Android app is all new, with a big redesign focused on making the software more interactive and social. Today’s updated app introduces things like live comment feeds, in-app chat, tools for moderators and more.
