Is it me or Reddit is starting to malfunction and getting worse? More errors, bots, and the gradual decline of the platform itself. Parts of it don’t work on some days, and it’s starting to feel like it’s falling apart.
I jumped ship permanently a few weeks ago. It was unusable. finding content made by a human is getting harder and harder. Its all just reposts at this point. Bots posting, bots commenting back and fourth to each other with prompts, ect. The whole place is a mess and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Funny, because statistically it seems to be doing fine. Like Google searches for reddit have doubled in 5 years.

I have no idea how it has developed since they closed the API, except what I read on Lemmy, because I had already closed my account about a year before that, because the quality had deteriorated a lot already back then.
Lemmy though is nice, it’s a lot like reddit was in the beginning.
I would guess part of it is Google getting worse and people adding reddit to the query hoping to find answers to PC problems, etc.

These kind of comments remind me of the days before the digg exodus
I sadly had to get a Reddit account just a few weeks ago, I am an IT technician and needed help from the sysadmin subreddit for a work question.
But after rejoining after more than a year away from the site, it has clearly seen a huge decline, way less people post less content, the content that is posted isn’t as interesting as it used to be.
It’s down for a bunch of people right now
It might be
