I can tell you that a bunch of the technical Reddits have just shut down. I suspect that's going to put a big dent in things because site:reddit.com is going to be dead in Google. And that's the only thing holding people on Reddit.

Unfortunately, those technical sub-Reddits are almost always moving to Discord. :(

Once "site:discord.com" becomes a thing, Reddit is cooked.
