    What’s Reddit like nowadays?

    Haven’t been over there since the apps died.

      A lot of niche subreddits still dark honestly. I still run into it when searching obscure things (the only reason I ever go to Reddit)

      Bots galore.

      And mods who are still banning everyone who breathes.

      The only people left over there are the ones with their heads in the sand.

      Depends on the subreddit and how the mods reacted.

      For mainstream users nothing changed. There’s two subreddits I stay active on. But I’m trying to make a point to make keep creating content on activity protocol.

        My teen is a big Redditor and definitely notices poorer quality content. He knows my choice to no longer be there, but it’s not like I tried to be evangelical about it: he needs to decide for himself what values he stands up for, how he chooses to spend his entertainment time and attention.

        He’s fascinated by human motivations and is a big reader of r/AmITheAsshole. It used to lead to some great discussions. We have t noticed whether there are less frequent postings but there are definitely a lot fewer worth discussing.

        Unfortunately last timeI checked on Lemmy, there was a fledgling community but neither the scale nor the cultivation to be interesting.

          My gf used to send me AITA posts but she says they have just turned into revenge porn fantasy and it’s boring for her now
