I’ve not logged in on my Reddit account since that big group boycott and switching to Lemmy.
If Reddit didn’t hold some specific info for certain video games or just a much larger group participating in Tech/Selfhosted subreddits, I’d rarely have to visit the website.
Honestly, to me the Reddit demise was happening organically anyway. For a lot of weirdly specific topics, Discord has become a good alternative.
Now just don’t get me started on Discord and how it will eventually have to better monetize the platform and ruin that too. Wish Matrix had a soundboard for voice chat 😢
Yeah. Soon as I realized that at some point Discord either has to sell or IPO the platform was eventually going to deteriorate.
It’s already got some odd limitations. Character limits. Very tight file upload limit. And streaming limitations. But hey, Nitro/Boost fixes it.
Worse part? If most of the limitations were removed for the price of $1 or $2 a month it might be more acceptable (at least for me). $10 feels steep for nitro. When I see that price tag, it signals I might not be the target audience. Which is weird when I’m pretty sure I’m a subset of the target audience.

My biggest problem with Discord is it’s a walled garden. So much info that’s inaccessible to the rest of the world.

What do you mean by soundboard?
Same. I still want to log in and change every comment to “fuck spez”.
