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.

Exactly. I'm definitely gonna miss some of the meme subs and topic-specific subreddits but honestly I'm not going to miss the platform itself or most of the content there.

I really should have moved on from it a while ago like I did with twitter tbh. Life is so much better with less social media, and when the stuff I engage with is genuinely more positive. I don't have forever to live and don't need to waste time in a toxic relationship of any kind, especially with reddit
