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 was there from 2009, when they welcomed me and asked me to do an AMA while Fark mods temp-banned me accidentally. lol. I spent a lot of the last 14 years on reddit creating some communities, moderating default subs, stepping away twice, but going back each time.
Well, this is finally it. I’m an old.reddit user, so not directly impacted by this, but it’s just a sign that reddit is dead. It’s been dying.
I got into tildes thankfully, as the discussion there is great. And now I’m over here, as I know there’s a large influx from reddit, so hopefully these two sites will fill that gap. :)
It’s another Reddit alternative, however I don’t think it’s federated like this is, it’s more straightforward. I got an invite if you want
I’d also love an invite to Tildes (for anyone reading this) I sent a message to the invites email earlier today but haven’t heard back just yet.
