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?
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.
Worldnews has always skewed a little to the right but the comments I read on a post about the immigrants drowning absolutely disgusted me
There have been some posts where the comments have been 100% memes and off-topic.
IMHO the strongest point of news aggregators like Reddit, is the extra information that isn’t in the linked article, otherwise there is no benefit over an RSS feed reader.
There are also probably many bot answers now at the top.
Not just a little.
I was wrongly banned from that place three years ago for posting a comment that was critical of how Saudi Arabia and other conservative Middle Eastern nations treat women. I’d say they’re far from a right-wing place.
It’s too early to tell but I’m spending more time on Lemmy.
