For me two things come to mind:
One reason why reddit could die slowly. It won't be a process of dumb leader quotes/decisions like the twitter to mastodon waves. It will be slow and continuously.
well in a way it is I think. The blackouts have pretty much ended, but many mods left. Many mods are demotivated, and many users are leaving due to worsened apps. They survived the blackouts, but the long term effects will have them bleeding for a long time.
Got it!
It's kind of hard to generalise based on one point of data, but I'm surprised at you saying that the content quality went down. I did expect it to happen, but not so quickly. (Also, welcome to Lemmy!)
