Reddit has been dead since February, when Spez met with The Goblin, and then permabanned thousands, maybe millions of highly active accounts, including me. I was permabanned for repeating a post I had made many times with no issues. After 12 years, and almost a million Karma, I was suddenly too dangerous to allow on the platform, along with thousands of others.

We high volume posters built Reddit, but we shifted from being assets to problems after Trump was elected again.

Reddit died for me the moment RIF went down.

[–] JawnZ@lemmy.today 1 points 44 minutes ago

I still use RIF with a Revanced patch- the few weeks before I figured out how to do that I was zero time on reddit. That's probably healthier for me.

I'm trying to shift over to Lemmy more and more it's just difficult with some smaller/niche communities. But it's worth the effort given how much spez is on his knees.

"subreddits will stop displaying subscriber counts and instead show their “unique number of unique visitors over the last seven days, based on a rolling 28-day average,” Reddit’s rep said. Notably, old.reddit.com will not get these new stats but will still lose subscriber counts"

They are hiding,for stock purposes, their declining numbers from everyone they have banned. 12 year user I never said anything outlandish just dark humor that I always have. Stuff that would have been easily ok 10 years ago. Nope no more
