I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Digg collapse was very similar. Digg was very clearly the “winner” at that time in terms of user numbers, but killed themselves in a very similar way as Reddit does now.
The word enshittification didn’t exist at the time, but the concept predates either website. It nearly predates the web. Stop talking to each other and start buying things.
