    Unfortunately Reddit is almost too big at this point to fail. The fact that official communities exist over there is enough to keep them afloat. But Reddit as we all knew it is dead. I was always worried about Reddit going public effecting it’s quality, and the staff have only confirmed my fears. Luckily Reddit offers nothing anyone else can do, and jumping ship to a competitor had never been easier.

    Long live the Fediverse.

          Hell yeah! I’m too much of a hoarder to delete mine, but the only interactions I will ever have on that app will be telling people to try lemmy.

            I believe you can also back up your reddit comments and posts with Power Delete Suite before the 30th, just be sure not to click the delete or modify post options if you don’t want to do that

              RiF gave me an option to export data, gonna check that out too. I was against wiping my account at first, but the more I think about the more I’m tempted. It knows a lot about me if you were to actually analyze it.

      Digg is still around too, after all.

      Heck, so are Slashdot, Fark, and Usenet.

      Reddit doesn’t need to “die” in order for something better to come along.
