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.

    Thing is, it already has a mainstream audience with the majority of its users on the official app and using the garbage redesigned website.

    Just wondering if the mods and people actually making content are part of that audience or not.

    I’m hoping no, and that reddit will fail like Digg given its horrible decision making the last few days. May that IPO crash and burn.

      That’s what I think, those who are actually interested in managing a quality sub will likely learn how the fediverse works and move, since the quality of people here will, on average, be higher than the unwashed masses.
