What's up with the new wave of people talking about Reddit? Did their admins do some stupid shit again?
(I'm just curious, mind you, it has been months since I don't browse Reddit.)
For me two things come to mind:
- X's influence - they are doing some stupid $hit (like removing ability to block people). So I guess my brain decided it is fed up with corpo apps.
- degradation of content quality - I feel like Reddit has served it's purpouse, and I struggle to find something funny and/or informative. When I opened Lemmy for the first time, at least 4 interesting articles came on my feed.
degradation of content quality
One reason why reddit could die slowly. It won't be a process of dumb leader quotes/decisions like the twitter to mastodon waves. It will be slow and continuously.
well in a way it is I think. The blackouts have pretty much ended, but many mods left. Many mods are demotivated, and many users are leaving due to worsened apps. They survived the blackouts, but the long term effects will have them bleeding for a long time.
Got it!
It's kind of hard to generalise based on one point of data, but I'm surprised at you saying that the content quality went down. I did expect it to happen, but not so quickly. (Also, welcome to Lemmy!)

This seems to be a fair assumption whenever we see a new wave to be honest.
