Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Although I liked reddit, I didn't like the focus on karma. Way to many posts were made purely in an attempt to collect karma. Ruins the conversion and litters the feed with re-posts of videos that belong to someone else.
