Probably for the best. Quality is nonexistent vs a decade ago.

What's a good alternative though? I tried Lemmy a while back and whilst FLOSS communities there were pretty active, others not so much.

Only reason I use Reddit these days is for r/sysadmin and r/SCCM, lots of useful content there that saved my bacon on multiple ocassions - especially on Patch Tuesdays. Haven't seen this sort of active userbase and content posted anywhere else.
