The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.

Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn't fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn't an equivalent place to go to.

They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn't then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.

Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it's wandering about and most of the users haven't realised yet that it's an empty shell.

It's slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it's now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.
