Reddit is containment for normies to generate LLM training data, but also a possible temporary stop for people on their journey out of friendface, twitter, insta, etc. like my senior mother.
I’m thrilled she is off of those other platforms now, and there’s still lots of time for her to make her own conclusions for Reddit, and she will.
This was my pathway through as well, FB, Twitter, Insta, and Snap. Stopped using those accounts and shifted over to Reddit for my ‘social’ fix. Just recently went through and manually deleted all my posts and comments and finally my account from Reddit, now just on Lemmy and kind of on Mastodon.
