Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

That's really cool that you've got a due date subreddit. I was on a pregnancy/parenting forum ages ago and it was really nice to have a group of women to chat with who were going through the same thing. So much of pregnancy just isn't taught in schools and I was the first in my offline friend group to get pregnant, so I had nobody else to turn to with "is this normal" questions. My kid just graduated high school, so this was before Reddit was around.

For a community like that, I'd probably be willing to suffer through Reddit's bad changes for a bit longer.

yup! i'm still off of it because i can't figure out whether or not the blackout is over and i wanna be supportive but i have definitely missed complaining about hyperspecific pregnancy symptoms on reddit this week haha. i have the same thing where none of my offline friends are having kids yet (if ever) so an online community is sooo helpful!
