Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

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 Reddit, I mourn the people and ideas I enjoyed engaging with through it. But, I’m glad people chose to find another way to engage (such as Lemmy) vs. staying in that toxic system. :)

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

Same, the only social media that I'm interested in is the kind that is actually social. Communities that bring people together on their passions and interests. I'm done with mindless scrolling feeds and sites that make you miserable and convinced that everybody else's life is awesome except yours.
