I honestly can't blame the mods after all the API bullshit. I can't imagine moderating was particularly enjoyable beforehand, and without the tools to make things more convenient I'd definitely give up.
Yeah, there's a tendency among people to have trust for things that are popular. On the other hand if you see a lack of users on a service it makes you doubt how good something is.
You're not wrong, but the habit still persists a bit :(
Just have to accept that the thing I loved no longer exists.
Pretty much the only reason I still visit reddit is because there was in the past been such a wealth of genuine discussion. Like if I wanted to get the inside facts of "what's the best mayonaise" I could find it on r/mayo posted 4 years ago.
Lemmy is still a bit lacking in that regard, though I'm sure it will come soon enough.
