For me, there are just a few communities that are missing (or too inactive) here. For example, r/homekit. That being said, I haven’t made much of an effort to post, so I’m part of the problem.

Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

Proliferation of bots ≠ popular.

I thinks it’s because youtube, you know? Some guy with AI ‘write’ something, post it, and then another guy, with AI, takes that text and make a video with an AI voice.

I don’t care what they do as long as they do it over there.
