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 honestly doubt I will entirely stop using it, but I will likely entirely stop using it on mobile, and continue to use adblock on old.reddit. Some of the communities there are fairly irreplacable for me for now, especially hobby communities with their wikis and tutorials and years of answered questions you can search for.
It will most likely stop being my main time waster website on the net, though, and for that I’m not sad.
I’m in the same boat. There’s some smaller subs I like that I’ll probably go to with ad block on. If they kill old reddit i’ll be out though.
Yeah I will probably still use Reddit for my hobby communities. The knowledge amassed in those subs is too valuable to leave completely
