Reddit is probably already dead. - FMHY

We just don’t smell the rot yet. It’s not about the actual body (website) and the name. It is about the spirit, the personality. And that has been compromised and killed off because of factors one could call enshittification or whatever. Digg and Tumblr still exist, at least in name, but not in spirit. I think Reddit has past that threshold. It will be a slow death and I am not sure the fediverse will fill the void it leaves behind. But I do think and believe communities will never sustain on venture capital.

I definitely feel like the user base responsible for making OC on reddit are the type that bailed on reddit during the shutdown. With a huge amount of their content creators for the platform gone, it’s gonna be even more recycled garbage.

Reddit looking like Tik Tok, which is looking more like Facebook, which wants to look like Instagram... and what's that over there? Oh look, it's Twitter, spooning glue with its' hand and putting it in its' mouth.

Beginning of the end. I hope the IPO fails or is cancelled. I uninstalled all my reddit apps, but last I looked, my feed was already subpar compared to the fediverse.

Fuck Steve Huffman.

Really? Mine is full of beans. Kinda annoying how easily a meme can take over the whole feed.

Reddit basically has leprosy and has been falling apart for a while. You don’t notice the accumulation of small changes until you take a step back and reevaluate it as a whole

It started as a pedestal for Free speech by one of the founders. But spez just nuked him off the website after his death. Reddit is nothing it once was. It’s a corporate, just like every other bs app.

Reddit is farked.
Show threadBuddahrifficJul 6, 2023

fark.com is another site that still exists.

It’s kinda weird going back there, same in jokes that I remember from before but it’s like 15 years later. Reddit, on the other hand, did change a lot over the years, for better and worse. Though I do wonder how much of that was natural and how much was manipulation from political groups and/or propaganda teams from various countries from all sides of all divides.

As with Twitter, there probably won’t be just one replacement. Instead, we’ll all use multiple platforms.

Meanwhile, among all this drama and chaos, TikTok just keep growing…

How many times was TikTok supposed to have been banned now?

I managed to get most of my family to remove it. Now they just watch instagram reels, which I kinda feel is a step sideways.

It “died” a couple years ago when it became closed-source.
