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 needs to die unfortunately. The last 5 years of development was spent on shitty stickers and nfts that no one will even remember. The project has zero vision, no wonder they want to cash out.

I'm looking forward to seeing a new concept, from someone. A new idea all together. Like TikTok/vine or IG. Maybe even something not social media related.

Good point. The main issue with Reddit is that producing original content is really difficult and TikTok like take - where making content is as easy as humanly possible - could be very refreshing.
