    Yep, this has become reeeaaally visible since a week or two.

    I used to regularly browse reddit without being logged in, it was a way to experience the default reddit experience for my region, see what people from my country would discuss as many French speaking subs were included.

    I could scroll a couple of pages worth of moderately interesting and quite diverse content.

    Now it’s mostly garbage, I barely reach the end of the first page. The diversity and the quality has gone way done, it’s like a distilled facebookesq version of summer reddit.

    Called it - content quality is dropping down considerably. Eventually not even your typical user (who doesn’t really care about API, mod revolts, etc.) will stay. They’ll simply leave.

      The bots that have been clamouring to repost garbage will be unleashed with fewer moderators too

      Back when Reddit was smaller it’s was pretty good, for the last 5 or so years it’s become too big so all the default subs are just Facebook memes and boomer humour.

      Just look at the damn asklemmy posts about your username or “you’re now catapulted in the last tv series/videogame/movie you’ve seen, how fucked are you?”.

        The German version of that sub has really non-askreddit sounding questions that are actually interesting, so it can work if the mods want to
