No

I'm having fun helping build new communities here. I only miss it when I can't find a community with sufficient participation or when I have a specific question that was previously discussed on Reddit. For those cases, I'm willing to still use Reddit.

If by your question you mean in that abusive, self destructive, totally dysfunctional, immoral and unethical ex sort of way, then sure I guess.

For me, Reddit died long before the whole ordeal of the API controversy. More and more traffic was due to bots, and lately I started to receive a lot of spam from porn bots there. There's not a lot of incentive on part of Reddit to remove them, since bot activity is still activity they can present to investors.

Don't get me wrong, not all bots are bad, but spambots are universally harmful.

No.

There’s literally one or two niche communities I still poke in on for news, but I’ve stopped participating.

In a way, yeah, but at this point in my life I'm getting used to it. Every few years, you gotta jump ship to the new thing.

I really miss the dog videos, took me a week or so to notice that lemmy doesn't have any, all the porn is garbage because we can't have videos and none of the apps (except kinda liftoff) have in-app video players for sites like redgifs.

But no one is posting videos because most people aren't going to watch them if they have to go to a website, I won't.

I hope boost releases with in-app support and the option to hide certain posts like it used to. Then I can just tick videos and go on my merry way.
