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 don’t mourn it, but I do already miss it. Because as terrible of a place as it can be, it has the huge advantage of being, well, huge.
So even more niche stuff has some level of engagement enabling you (together with the format) to find things you enjoy or are interested in.
That was the thing I enjoyed most about it really
