Discussion on r/OutOfTheLoop on large news subreddits dying

www.reddit.com Reddit - Dive into anything

I made a sub that got popular (in its niche). Good people. Little drama. Productive everything. For like 4 years. Then suddenly it's dying. Posts have dropped to 5% prior. I see no leeching competitors. I'm thinking maybe something deep is happening to reddit. Like organ failure. Or brain parasite.
- Have you considered opening a community here, and pointing to it from your sub?
  
  Ya, I've considered it. My enthusiasm ain't there anymore tho. There are members way more enthusiastic than me. I assume that they are aware of Lemmy. I'll mention it to them. They have a discord too.
  
  It's generative art. That's the subject. A population of good prometheuses. /r/generative
Is reddit just bots commenting back and forth to each other now?
- It’s an ugly mix of bots, foriegn influence campaign supported keyboard warriors, and poor humans caught in the middle of it
- I'm not sure there's any way to tell.
  
  The bots can pass a turing test, now.
  
  I figure at some point it'll just be one random dude talking to bot shadows of themself.
  
  You are bot? Because clearly I am not.
- Bot or not the quality can't get any lower
I guess after you permanently ban all your users the party ends.
