I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

submitted 1 year ago by Inspectigator@beehaw.org to c/chat@beehaw.org

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

I don't think this is the death of Reddit, but I do think it's the dumbing down of Reddit. A lot of the power users that spend all day interacting and posting are going to be the ones leaving. Reddit will turn from a social community back into a simple link aggregator with people posting articles and having the same discussions over and over again in the comments.

That's basically what it is already on many of the largest subs. Hell they even recycle/repost the same content every 6 months or so

I swear askreddit's questions are automated at this point.
