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.

Reddit isn't so much killing itself as rather being killed for money.

This is why I hate capitalism. It ruins everything, including the planet and the future.

Pity we can't have a social media site that's a public service!

Run by who, your friendly neighborhood local government?

No thank you. I think Lemmy is great. Hopefully it catches on sufficiently for niche communities to really develop.

The fact that it's a teeny tiny bit more technical than reddit is a nice barrier against utter stupidity.
