Isn't reddit late stage enshitification by now?
It is bu I still would not exactly class it as a social media
Because it's content based and not person based?
Kinda yeah. You follow communities/subreddits for a topic you don't really follow people.
You post stuff related to communities not personal photos necessarily.
Your feed is curated by what communities you follow not just random stuff (reddit could be argued to be going the second route).
Pre-enshitification Facebook was you joined groups and followed people and saw the posts in the groups and what your friends posted. The random stuff is enshitification, vacation pictures didn't make Facebook toxic
Well in that case it would be the enshitification. But lemmy is still so dufferent from traditional social media like facebook, instagram, maybe tiktok (never used it might not be considered traditional)
