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 still in the anger stage and I can’t understand why Reddit is moving towards a full self-destruction, but I’m glad that Lemmy exists because I believe it can become a suitable alternative over time.

      I’m going back to bargaining. Maybe I can find a way to still use it even after they kill off old reddit (I’m sure this is next). But I just think of how the soul of the site will be gone. It’ll just be like any facebook group or twitter feed.
