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.
There’s definitely some stages of withdrawal going on for me. Having relied on that site for many years as a source of information, commentary, and just plain ol’ entertainment scrolling on my lunch break, I definitely feel the sense of loss.
But that AMA yesterday with Spez really enforced that the site’s not going to be at all what it used to be.
