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’ve never been too sentimental about anything dying or changing into something else. Especially with Reddit since the CEO is so hell bent on converting it into your typical social media.
But no, I’m not too sad about it. Everything has it’s time. Things come and go but the memories you make there certainly aren’t invalidated by things going to shit.
I’d be more sad if the CEO wasn’t such an idiot.
Not sad at all. Because of the way reddit treated the community, I like seeing it collapsed.
I think what I’m most sad about is losing easily searchable information. Finding an obsscure thread about some weird question I had is great. Maybe that will be preserved somehow. Idk. That and the more unhinged reddit posts and copypastas throughout history.
Shame about those two broken arms…
How long until we get the first Lemmy poop knife-level story?
And the lemmy equivalent of the jumper cable guy. Or the ol’ switcharoo. Makes me sad to think of all the stuff that we are losing but there will be some interesting new legends, no doubt
