Anyone else here concerned about what this means for the health of the ecosystem? If reddit was never sustainable and we are well and truly past a phase of consolidation there is potentially a lot of history / info to loose here. The damage has been done already by the funding model. While the return to federation and private hosting is nice, there is a potential "dark" age.

Increases sun exposure. Great.
I feel discord does really well because the way it structures it "servers" really focuses around individuals rather than groups. Which then creates an incentive for a certain type of person to "grow their server" bringing more activity onto discord. This is confounded by both a) you join all channels on a server, 2) the ability of individuals to "mute" servers or channels; combined it means it fills up with a bunch of idlers in a way which is worse than IRC as it's unlikely they will ever read the contents or participate beyond asking a question then leaving.
Limited time to build something so you have to pick based on a couple factors, often largest % of users.
Definitely related to the fall of usenet. The fact that it's ungoverned and standard, but the immediately obvious fix is not a situation people want either.
What about Zig? But I would have to agree that C++ does seem to be holding Qt back from adoption, minus where there are decent bindings.
Would you support public transport improvements?
In contrast 2009 was a actually a very bad year for a lot of people. I think what you're feeling is pretty normal. Try create some new fun, don't do too much in terms of recreating things except to confirm / dis-confirm memories.
