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.
Malls didn't die overnight, you know. It's a downward spiral that takes many years when it starts.
Is there a downward spiral, though? Or did they just get rid of a bunch of (from their perpective) whiny, entitled, free riding, old-timers?
Lol what are these anger threads like?
Yes. I was there just minutes ago, in the live threads for Formula 1 qualifying. All good, interesting opinions, and relevant links posted. No complaints.
Reddit is fine if you only look at user numbers.
If you consider things like overall satisfaction with the site and profitability though, they are in trouble. That's why they are introducing that embarrassing crypto shit, they are desperate to somehow monetize the site.
