This whole drama is getting tiresome. I’ll miss reddit but I just don’t have the emotional investment to do anything other than quit the site if they go through with the changes and hope others follow suit. I hope that lemmy proves to be a viable alternative
I’ve already quit the site. Even if they backpedal, it seems unlikely because of any desire or respect for the users and only because of current PR pressure. I’ve experienced it before where some hostile decision is walked back until the uproar dies down, and they try again. And again until the protest fatigue sets in.
I’m don't trust Reddit and have chosen to move on. Whether they stick around or not matters not to me. I’ve moved on and watch with an eye for curiosity and awareness. But no more emotional investment.
This. Decisions like this are not made on a whim. They go through multiple stages, meetings, financial and technical analyses, reviews, lawyers … many, many desks and people who sign off on the plan. They really want this.
Yeah, I for sure will spend more time here, it's just that some niche places I am probably will never move off of reddit, and it's either that or nothing, once old goes away though, I don't think I will be able to use the site any more.
