'This will pass’ - Reddit boss responds to major chaos at site
Crack on Reddit I'm Done Anyways.
I was mainly a lurker on reddit with only occasional posting. But I'm done with it anyway now. Always felt a little uneasy as it was like the last social media 'product' i consumed after purging all other mainstream ones.
This latest drama has just shown the company management of a single website is making changes in view of its own profits. I thought i was a user but maybe I'm a customer. But have no interest in that. I'm free now.
Think I'll float about the fediverse for a while. This is 1st post so might not actually work ha
My account on Reddit is 17 years old. I joined when it was basically a Lisp programming forum. I am a charter member, I gave them money when they desperately needed it about 15 years ago. I've had premium since they offered it.
I'm done. Cancelled my premium, deleted my account, uninstalled the app, moved here. Fuck Spez.
Permanently Deleted
Wow thats a long time. Were u sniffing round the fediverse anyway then or just prompted by the latest mess?
Yet your link wants me to install some dumb ducking Microsoft app so that I can read the story
He's not wrong. Reddit will survive, it might just be a bit different. But that's what they want anyway. They want to be the next Instagram or WhatsApp - locked down to the max. The people that are left don't care about openness or 3rd party apps.
I realised a while ago that I spent most of my time on Reddit doomscrolling through this dystopian hellscape we're slipping into on UkPolitics so I unsubscribed from there and avoided it while I struggled with problems with Anxiety.
I went back in to doomscroll when I started feeling better.
I can doomscroll here, I've started posting here and there myself because that's what needs to happen
I'll really miss the Home Assistant subreddit so I hope that moves over.
