I went to Reddit today...

I went to Reddit today... - Beehaw

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco. … And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)

Popping my Lemmy cherry!

That ama is what convinced me that reddit is dead, and in like 3 minutes took me from being sad about it to enthusiastically watching it die.

I'd bet my left nut reddit will survive for quite a while yet, probably do even better over time

The kind of people who end up here just aren't the target demographic for them anymore

FB and twitter are losing users, but very slowly. Reddit will go out the same way... It'll be a whiny, decades-long, fading away into obscurity, while still retaining lots of assets.
