      That is just how they see their users. People high up do not see reddit as a community, but a bunch of “quality text” producing machine that will make them money.

    He’s right, it will. And that’s the problem.

    A two day blackout means nothing to Spez and Reddit. What it tells them is “we can treat the userbase and developers like shit and they’ll still use our platform for the other 363 days of the year”.

    The only thing that will force Reddit to the negotiating table is blacking out indefinitely. Not a single protesting subreddit opens back up until they realise what made the company so attractive to investors in the first place.

      Fine. Let him have the place. The experience here on Lemmy has been vastly superior anyway. Engagement is 1,000x better. It’s night and day how much kinder, thoughtful, and intelligent people here have been.

    It certainly will eventually, all things do. The real question is what Reddit looks like after.
    I suspect it will be something quite different, and something I want no part of any more.
