I'm quite surprised with the neutral to positive reactions, which also show that some people will probably never leave Reddit.

$5 a month to spend your time with the neck beards and power tripping mods? 🤢
At least on this side most people here aren't addicted to social media imo
It wasn't until I started having conversations on reddit in something I was an actual expert in they I realised most people on reddit have very strong opinions but not much actually knowledge on the subject.
Hopefully less bots and fluff here and more quality content. All I know is after 10+ years on reddit its the end of an era. It was slow when reddit started, and I expect things to be a bit slower here for a bit.
I've been on Reddit pretty much every day in the past five years. The one thing that I've noticed over the years is that the amount of reposts has skyrocketed over the years. I've left multiple large subs because it's the same thing across multiple subs or just general shitposting. Nostalgia, 90s, and FuckImOld all just became "Who remembers this?" with a picture of a common thing.
It's going to get a lot worse with the recent pay to post scheme they copied from Twitter 🥴
Everything eventually meets it's demise.
There were many small subs with genuinely knowledgeable people but many have shut down after the API change.
