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’m missing it a lot less than I ever missed Twitter…
    For the most part, Reddit has sort of filled a void of community groups or random goofy videos/memes for me, as I’m not on either FB/IG or TikTok. On Reddit I could see a post about something going on in my city (Portland), a review of a game I like, a cat floofing out of a tiny vase, and a gorgeous photo of a mountainside all in the span of 30 seconds. It’ll be a bummer not to have that experience any more, but I get enough value out of the Fediverse at this point (along with a few Discord servers) I’m not going to lose sleep over it.
