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.

I made the decision to leave Reddit after Apollo was announced to be shutting down. I'll hang around until Apollo dies, but I'm already mourning the loss of niche communities. I can only hope that they'll be replicated here.

On the bright side, this place being smaller in terms of userbase makes it less intimidating for me to comment more often.
