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 am a little. I already deleted Apollo to break the habit. One might as well dive into the deep end. I'm all in on Lemmy now. I mourn the critical mass of Reddit but I'm hopeful Lemmy will rise to fill the void.

I deleted RiF a couple of days ago. RiF is reddit to me. I have countless subs and bots blocked. Still, I was scrolling r/all and realized how repulsed I was by the content. It was just page after page of junk. I still have my account, but I haven't logged in for days.

I am mourning the time I have wasted.
