    I started a new job a few months ago and was on my first business trip with four colleagues recently. To make conversation I asked if anyone used Reddit.

    • Two dudes had heard of it but never used it.

    • One dude said he uses it infrequently because it’s turned to shit.

    • One dude said fuck Reddit and it’s API bullshit.

    • I said fuck Reddit and it’s API bullshit.

    Thats my anecdote. 100% of the people in that car didn’t use Reddit or now hated it. Probably 3 months ago that same car ride would have had three people loving Reddit and advocating it to the other two.

      Despite your experience it’s alive and well. If reddit is a dying mall what is Lemmy? To scale it’s like an unmaintained Porta potty.

      I hate reddit, but let’s not be ridiculous. It’s more than fine. Google has really gone to shit. When people search for things they put in site=reddit as a more reliable way to find real information.

      You mean you asked “When does the Narwhal bacon?”, right?
