Thank you for saying this. When I created it, I thought it was a nice pun, a good way to revive the bad pun dog meme and I stand by it that there is some truth to it. I definitely wasn’t expecting it to become my post with the highest exposure to date, or for a post made in a shitposting community (!) to be taking this seriously.

That being said, I still think Reddit is in trouble. As I pointed out in a previous comment, there are still more than 2000 subs in the dark, moderation is at an all time low morale, bot traffic is increasing, re-posts are increasing, content quality is decreasing, comments are increasingly toxic. etc. There are definitely a lot of small subreddits where there is no change noticeable. But saying Reddit is back to business as usual doesn’t seem very realistic to me.
