[db0] Reddit is a dead site running - Lemmy

The link contains @[email protected] 's views on the ongoing state of Reddit, and I think that it’s worth sharing here - both to document a piece of opinion, and as food for thought. The main points are: * a comparison between the current state of Reddit vs. Myspace near collapse; * the illusion that everything is fine based on “raw” numbers like engagement; * that Reddit was never a “good” site, but it had two positive points (open API and hands-off approach to communities), destroyed by the current events; * the ongoing progression of the Fediverse as alternative to Reddit; * the change in quality in both the content and the behaviour of the people still there.
