Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social)

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

I ended up checking a few times via teddit and I noticed the exact same thing. It seems a lot of the non-mod quality contributors have already left.

Those who stayed are probably power users using 3rd party apps. So expect another big drop in quality on July 1st.

I noticed the same thing. I was on Reddit for a good 12 years and the quality was getting worse for years, but it's really dropped off since May 30. There are noticeably fewer big posts on r/all and there's hardly any new or interesting stuff. It's reposts, Twitter screenshots, stuff from Tiktok and Discord, complaints (think mildlyinfuriating, AITA, Doordash), and rate me requests. And Facebook type things, like "here's what my kids did today." The bright spots in the sea of trash are gone.

Kbin, Lemmy, and Tildes have been filling up with the good stuff I missed from Reddit. A month ago, it was a little slow here, but not anymore.

I'm only still keeping my reddit account for one private sub and an ongoing commission, but I realized a couple hours ago that I'm so used to Boost and it's so convenient that I could not even find my messages to this guy.

They weren't in the chat window with everyone else. There was no other button that I could see. After some fruitless fumbling, I literally had to Google how to check my damn inbox on a site I've been using for nigh on six years and I'm very grumpy about that. So I have that to look forward to if they don't turn out to have a discord or something
