It has actually gotten a lot better. Incremental progress for a few years and we're in a fairly good place. This is highly unusual.

So, anyone want to talk about guitar pedals in here?

I'm convinced Reddit will never IPO because it will have to open its books, and that a large chunk of their revenue comes from direct payments for astroturfing. It must be at least tempting for them - and it's not like anyone would notice on r/politics or any of the other big subs.

Canceling third party clients and the antics, as well as the bad management of Musk is what people drives away from Twitter not the reliability.
Has Twitter’s usage declined? I’ve seen a lot of opinions like this but they seem to be motivated reasoning and/or summarization of the views of a small echo chamber, but not based on actual data. I would guess most users of social media (and products/services for that matter) are not too concerned with antics of the owners.
The network effect is real, so without substantial change, twitter is still the best platform for tweeting.

It seems pretty inarguable that some people are using the site less. I'm one. In order for overall usage to remain the same, there needs to be people making up for that. Do these people exist? Who is using the site more because of Musk? I'm honestly not sure, because if they do exist, I don't follow them.

The only thing I do more than Reddit is sleep - and I do not get error pages everyday. A few years ago, yes. Now they are pretty rare. Maybe once a week.
Looking at Downdetector it looks like Reddit and AWS started having problems simultaneously: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
I noticed Hacker News being slow at roughly the same time that Reddit went down, though that's probably a coincidence.
Edit: i.e. a form of cascading failure.
