    It is interesting to share the impression while watching together the Vesusvius erupting and sealing Pompeii and discussing its last chapter

    People said the same thing around the API changes, and it seems more like being bitterly obsessed with an ex. Would I love to see the downfall of any major social media site? Sure, but that’s different than being part of a community that is constantly discussing a website you used to go to.

      These things take time. I was a reddit user for 10+ years and left 3 years ago. Since then, reddit is in a downspiral. Whenever I visit Reddit (I still do, without an account) I can hardly recognize the place. There is no hourly changing Frontpage anymore. I sometimes see things that are 1-2 days old. Crazy worn down place.

      Why you click on this if you do not want to participate? I have no interest in this discussion with you. If you need the reddit falldown happen in the timespan of a tiktok video, this is up to you. Rome didnt burned down in a day. Those system erode, corrode and fall apart over long times.

        Because I find it odd to find reddit on my frontpage multiple days a week when I was glad to leave it and associated behavior behind.

        You’re not understanding at all, I don’t know how you interpreted my words to mean that I am merely impatient.
