    Yes, Reddit had been declining for years. I was first on it from the digg migration and its progressive degradation was obvious. Apollo made it bearable.

        I’m not familiar with the names involved but maybe she coincided with new Reddit. The web experience wasn’t worth it from then onwards. I used several apps and liked them all. Relay, narwhal, Reddit is fun, and Apollo.

          She was the one who worked with r/AmA and was the liaison with all of the celebrities doing AmAs and was frequently the one actually doing the posting from my understanding.

            I enjoyed their celebrity AMAs.

            (Ugh. My first day on lemmy and it’s about Reddit-which I haven’t been on for months. I’ll see myself out.)

            Edit: Didn’t mean this to sound like disappointment. Was saying I sound like a cliché.

              Of course it is, you’ve barely scratched the surface, and a lot of that is still kinda trauma bonding. But stick around and dig in a little deeper, it’s a wonderful place.

                I most definitely will. I’ve been on kbin and mastodon mostly since the reddout, a bit on squabbles. I plan to stay here.

        Also reddit was invaded by shills and bullshit politics around 2015. For instance r/conspiracy turned from honest discussion of fringe theories like UFOs to ridiculous right wing horseshit about Hillary Clinton or whatever.

        It’s quite strange seeing all these digg migrants complaining how the platform was ruined after they joined. As a 12 year plus Reddit account holder we saw you guys as the end being nigh. Of course that’s all water under the bridge now, it’s just interesting the different perspectives. :)

          I only ever lurked on digg, but was on Reddit once the migration began under several serial accounts.
