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.

Slashdot is not only still alive, but it's not even bad.

It's not what it used to be, though. Back in the CmdrTaco days, when it was the place to go for Linux news, it felt like it was part of a movement. Now it's just kind of...there...hanging on. Not bad, just not exciting.

It's cool to go into the Slashdot comments these days and still see some 3-digit (and sometimes even 2-digit) UIDs posting after all these years.
