Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.

I agree a lot with that, but this is more than a year old now, and with myspace it only took a few months to begin.
With Digg it was even faster, and what reddit is trying to do looks a lot like what Digg did, when they tried to prioritize monetized content, and although digg still exist, it’s an irrelevant site.

But a lot of people seem to stay with reddit for some reason. Which may actually be good for Lemmy, because when Digg failed, the quality of reddit took a dive.
Actually Digg wasn’t fast either. There were multiple exoduses from Digg throughout a year or more. And you also have to remember that Digg was multiple orders of magnitude smaller than Reddit is today. That gives Reddit a ton more momentum before the trust thermocline is breached.
