I prefer it. The concept of federation has been hard to wrap my mind around, but I think the issue with current-day reddit is that many communities became so large that interactions between users and even interactions with posts that are more than an hour old almost completely dried up (or at least that was my experience) which made the website a lot less interesting as a social platform and more of just a time-wasting doomscrolling link aggregation platform.
Hell yeah! My favorite will always be Richard Diamond. Private Investigator but I love Suspense and The Shadow as well.
Oh and Gunsmoke of course; I like the show as well but James Arness’ voice just doesn’t match William Conrad.
My old person trait is that I listen to old radio shows and watch a ton of classic movies and shows.
I’m 28 and don’t even know when I discovered this exactly but on archive.org there’s a group of people called the Old Time Radio Researchers Group who catalogue and archive all of the old radio shows. Some of the episodes sound like they could have been recorded yesterday just because they’re in such high quality.
Regardless of the perceived merit of your post I think we would all just appreciate a little more participation here.
