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.

At least Lemmy doesn't employ secret proprietary algorithm pitting, ad injection, dark patterns to funnel people to the bloated battery draining mobile app, shadowbanning or session tracking techniques. Even if I disagree with the politics of this instance I do appreciate a space to actually discuss without corporate interference in a federated platform. I really really hope this kicks in.
