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.

    Yeah for sure. I was on reddit for 13 years, there were users I recognised by name, people I was friendly with, people I’d have intense debates with, many, many, many subreddits I loved.

    But nothing lasts forever, and this place seems nice so here’s to new beginnings 🍻

      Same exact situation here. Been on reddit since digg v4 happened. Reddit was far from perfect, but for the most part I enjoyed my time there. If this is the end of reddit, then so be it. Lemmy/Beehaw looks like it can grow into a good replacement.
