I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
My reddit account never posted a lot but out of principle I am planning on deleting my account, if they do reverse the changes before the 30th.

I never knew any component of Reddit was ever open-source? But yeah, that AMA was so bleak. I’m enjoying Lemmy a lot right now, so maybe I can do without Reddit.
It’s just that Reddit has been like my one cultural constant in the last decade. I have ADHD, so I tend to go through phases of things but the sheer diversity of Reddit and all the years of history of the site meant that it’s been a really big part of my life. I know that’s probably similar for a lot of other folks.
@WatTyler @Sailor_jets #Reddit used to be #FOSS years ago, and there’s an archived version of their code here:

IDK if anybody’s actually using it to host a forum site though.
Wow, I legit never knew. Thanks for the link, that’s really interesting.
