Let's see if it continues through July and August.

I'm hopeful, but there is still a lot of content engagement over on Reddit. It doesn't seem like it's struggling all that much from a surface level observation.

This is (maybe) the "beginning" of the end for Reddit, not the "end" of the end. The big change isn't Reddit, but here.

When Digg fell, everyone moved to Reddit. When this API situation started there was not an obvious new solution to move to. Lemmy/KBin were mentioned but not readily accepted due to concerns with the content and capabilities of the fediverse. That is changing quickly, and the next time Reddit screws up, we will have much more active communities, quality apps, and fewer bugs.

Giant websites like Reddit don’t die overnight, death by a thousand cuts is how it happens.

No one expects Reddit to shutter in the span of a month or two, but as more and more people get fed up and move, the rest will follow.

Everyone who acts like Reddit can’t crumble when social media changes all the time are silly. Reddit won’t be around forever
