Fuck reddit.
Feeding user data to an LLM. Jacking up API costs. Being generally unusable on mobile. Usurping old.reddit.com to try and force me to the official app on “unmoderated” and NSFW threads.
Now with their IPO and a need to deliver ever increasing subscriber numbers and improved metrics for shareholders every quarter, the writing is on the wall.
I hope it goes to zero. The only sad thing is all the knowledge that will be lost due to the sky high API pricing when the site eventually does sunset. I’m guilty myself of trying to de-enshittify google somewhat by adding reddit to just about every search. Hopefully people smarter than me have ways to archive that info.
I've been using Libreddit and now it's fork RedLib side by side with Lemmy. Haven't had too many problems, does seem to be a good way to access the knowledge you mentioned without specific api use (it runs in docker too) https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
