I logged in to reddit on my computer the day after rif went dark, and there were noticeably fewer posts on the front page. I think only 8 or so posts were above 10k upvotes. I wouldn't be surprised if advertisers are pulling their ads in response.
I wvisited to see what it's like, but I didn't log in. Pretty boring place, mostly links from like, CNN, The Guardian, etc. Different subs trending, often with very boring political opinion stuff and sports.
Advertisers may not notice a difference, sad to say. The people wso stayed are exactly the people they want.
I've been wondering what is like over there, I hope it's apocalyptic
Honestly? As another user noted, it's just boring. Not nearly as much is getting posted, and the comments are reminiscent of the days when we'd scramble to write "FIRST" in the comment section. It doesn't feel conversational, if that makes sense. Like people are talking at each other, not with them. Also lots of "lol nothing changed, why was everyone making such a big deal?" But then the front page is mostly politics, shitposting, and recycled ask reddit questions. Not a monumental change, but definitely lower in quality, imo.
Weird subs are dominating r/all. Bunch of guys shaving their heads, delivery drivers complaining, "am I hot" subs. Weird and boring, the soul is gone.
I kept reading of this so I went and had a look. It's a bit worse than usual, and I saw the Doordarsh posts, but nothing else: this isnt a catastrophic end, it's just continuing on its slow decline as it has already bean for a while now.
