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.

I don't understand how they thought screwing over the unpaid backbone of Reddit was gonna go over well

Well they must've done the numbers and determined that enough of moderstors use their app/website that those revolting are negligible. That, or they really need to squeeze this thing dry before IPO, no matter what.

I read that they might be planning for a recession, would make sense imo
