I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.

Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.

It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.

On the other hand, there are some communities there that are still pretty active and interesting just based on the sheer volume of people that still use Reddit. So it still has a place in my life… Kinda.

Only expect to get worse over time, it’s like a slow decline of a friendship
