Despite your experience it’s alive and well. If reddit is a dying mall what is Lemmy? To scale it’s like an unmaintained Porta potty.
I hate reddit, but let’s not be ridiculous. It’s more than fine. Google has really gone to shit. When people search for things they put in site=reddit as a more reliable way to find real information.
Malls didn’t die overnight, you know. It’s a downward spiral that takes many years when it starts.
Is there a downward spiral, though? Or did they just get rid of a bunch of (from their perpective) whiny, entitled, free riding, old-timers?
Have you been there lately? The content is garbage. It’s just barely relevant reposts and dying communities with nothing but anger threads.
Yes. I was there just minutes ago, in the live threads for Formula 1 qualifying. All good, interesting opinions, and relevant links posted. No complaints.
Lol what are these anger threads like?
Every reddit thread is an anger thread. It’s just bots and the average idiot yelling at each other over nonsense and reposting the same tired joke from a decade ago.
Hasn’t r/all always been like that? The subreddits that are more niche have stayed mostly the same in my experience.
Reddit is fine if you only look at user numbers.
If you consider things like overall satisfaction with the site and profitability though, they are in trouble. That’s why they are introducing that embarrassing crypto shit, they are desperate to somehow monetize the site.
