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.

  • I felt this way about Twitter early on because Twitter for me was the third social media platform I ever experienced growing up, only with MySpace and Facebook before it.

    It’s sad to see Reddit go this way, but my solace is that the communities that make Reddit will survive one way or another. I’m just hoping Lemmy sees a better adoption than Mastodon has so far. I want both to thrive but I’m especially hoping for Lemmy since I spend/spent more of my time on Reddit.
