It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

Is reddit actually imploding or is it just business as usual?

I’ve been wondering. I’m not giving them the satisfaction of getting the traffic so I can check, but who knows, really.

Depends on where you go.

Subs like r/worldnews and r/tech have bottom of the barrel comments, but still manage to get some posts.

r/IAmA had many of the mods leave, so the remaining ones are stopping all “out of Reddit” activities, like recruiting celebrities, verifying identities, and so on. It’s pretty much worthless now.

Small niche subs are still working, but the equivalent communities on Lemmy are getting better quality right now.

A few subs like r/news, r/leagueoflegends and r/worldnews crossed the picket line without so much as acknowledging the blackout.
