I’ve never been sentimental about a social media site but it’s sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It’s just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.
the huge user base allowed for niche communities to form. if lemmy (or any alt) ever makes it to that size, i fear it’ll be a while
People will pick up the pieces and form a new community. Though I think a definitive end to reddit would be healthier than a drawn out wasting away. I think the latter is more likely though.
yep, hopefully the drawn out way will actually end in Reddit’s demise, Twitter which is still up 🤦♂️
I’m going back to some my old bulletin boards. Better expertise and really more pleasant than reddit.
