Can Reddit survive as its volunteer workforce close down subreddits and walk away from the site in protest at the management's new policies?

    I second this. The subs I’m subscribed to are losing a lot of quality, and human interaction is degrading. Doesn’t feel like a comfortable place anymore.

      Agree–I’m seeing a lot of what I called ‘quiet quitting’ lately. The regulars are posting a lot less, or not at all. I’m not ready to burn-it-all-down, because I want to be able to lure people over later when this is a bit more mature. But it already feels different there.

        Agreed. I use it much less than I used to and post a lot less. So that’s obviously going to lead to an appreciable loss of quality ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

        Yup. I just popped over there and even r/politics feels “thinner”–not as many posts, nor as many comments replying to posts as I would have seen a month ago.
