The notifications are redirecting even Old Reddit users to WWW… not a good sign…
I’ll bite I guess. I use Firefox with ublock to browse two niche communities. One is for the small city I live in which is relatively active and a very useful source of local news/events info. I’ll stop using reddit if I can’t use an ad blocker or if they make me use an app etc.
I don’t have an active account anymore (mine got banned because I called someone a fascist sanewasher and any new account I try to make gets immediately banned), but I still browse Reddit specifically because there are several subreddits for my local area (my county, my suburb, and the big city nearby) which are pretty active. I get a lot of local information from there which really isn’t available in such a concise way anywhere else.
mined just ended up like this, was purged in FEB, 5+accounts with anwhere to 1-11years of history), recently was shadowbanned as soon as my comment was removed by a MOD, i suspect a mod personally removing a comment has more weight in getting you shadowbanned than an automod would. i am appealing to see whats thier response, eventough its unlikely. apparently from the shadowban sub, they do apply a shadowban and it does have a time limit(depends on your “violation” and someone said when they lifted thier ban, they were rebanned, because admins said the oriignal ban dint expire yet, or some bs they came up with.
Because other sites still haven’t ramped up enough in specialized areas to provide anywhere near reddit’s level of interaction. If I’m stumped by some technical problem in a DIY project or my various niche hobbies, I can ask a question there and usually get good answers fast. Hopefully lemmy will be there eventually, but for now lots of communities with thousands of members on reddit have hundreds or dozens on lemmy.
Having said that, if they make Old Reddit unusable, as someone suggested might soon happen, I’m out.

I see where you come from, but Reddit subscribers are usually inflated, and you don’t need thousands of people to answer a question
That’ll lose them some users, but they’ll truly seppuku themselves when they inevitably drop the porn.
All Reddit users should consider seppuku

Take a screenshot of your username/account with your karma and account age; then delete it.
well, I guess I am well and truly done with visiting reddit even occasionally
The only time I’m there is when I search for something and the answer happens to be a Reddit post/comment. I hope this will happen less and less often, but there is genuinely a good decade of knowledge in there. It’s not rare that a 7 years old Reddit comment solves my issue.

It will be soon, and I agree but I think we will all be shocked how quickly the fediverse grows lots of niche communities. I don’t think the numbers will grow as fast as the amount of niche content either, because I think this will be a product of highly motivated people who come here specifically to recreate those niche communities and contributing to fleshing them out far more than a similar sized community would be on a corporate social network.
It’s a sinking ship
Ahh yes, reddit. Now that’s a site I haven’t thought about in a long time.
