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 was there from 2009, when they welcomed me and asked me to do an AMA while Fark mods temp-banned me accidentally. lol. I spent a lot of the last 14 years on reddit creating some communities, moderating default subs, stepping away twice, but going back each time.

Well, this is finally it. I'm an old.reddit user, so not directly impacted by this, but it's just a sign that reddit is dead. It's been dying.

I got into tildes thankfully, as the discussion there is great. And now I'm over here, as I know there's a large influx from reddit, so hopefully these two sites will fill that gap. :)

Sorry for the stupid question, but what is Tildes?

[–] koopacha@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It’s another Reddit alternative, however I don’t think it’s federated like this is, it’s more straightforward. I got an invite if you want

If you happen to have another invite, I would love to register at Tildes as well. I've read the conversations there the past couple of days and actually think I prefer it to Reddit. They seem more substantial and I'm struck by the more human tone.

That would be great! I’d love to try it out.

I'd also love an invite to Tildes (for anyone reading this) I sent a message to the invites email earlier today but haven't heard back just yet.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Hi. I would be most appreciative for an invite to Tildes as well as I've been interested in that community too. It and Beehaw look like two of the more promising Reddit alternatives I've come across.
