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.

Not really, lemmy feels very similar to reddit, it only needs a little more content.

I'm a bit sad we didn't have more time. But at the same time, I could see where reddit was going: it was inevitable. Once I saw what new reddit looked like, I knew this day was coming at some point. Doesn't mean I'm not sad about it though. Lots of history and useful information will be lost.

I'm still jumping over there occasionally but once Apollo shuts down I'll probably be done. There's some subreddits I love that I might just use those on desktop with Ad block on

No. It’s a website run by dumb cunts.

It's sad but Reddit has been going downhill for a while now so I've been expecting this day to come soon. This is just the final change that pushed me over the edge after having an account for 14 years. All the big subreddits seem to now be full of spam, arguments, ads disguised as posts. I'll only really miss the smaller niche communities I follow, I'm not sure Lemmy will be able to fill that gap but we'll see.
