Its such an insult to say
"Reddit delivers the opposite: deep discussions, passionate debates,"
When they have continually pushed to minimize that format of reddit. The official app works the same way as all of Meta's products, infinite scrolling content, their new website design severely restricts the comment section to just a few replies, instead requiring you click "see more" over and over if you want to continue reading a discussion. Now they are attempting to gatekeep their old.reddit format as well, restricting the ability to view discussions even further.

I have been a reddit user since the mid 2010's and it is so frustrating to see what once was truly the best place on the internet to discover new things, fall so far

    As they keep going down this path, slowly communities on lemmy will grow.

    It took Reddit nearly 2 decades to become as large as it is today. Lemmy/Open source platforms in general have plenty of time be become just as big.

    Or maybe I’m just coping at the permanent loss of something great.

    I think at the time, nobody realised how valuable a written transcript of 14 years of verified human conversations would become. "It's just internet comments." But it grew into so many people with unique problems and solution and discussions. Sometimes I imagine if we could somehow read and search that many people's conversations from 1000 years ago
