I hope Reddit learns from there mistakes but probably not they are for the bottom dollar and will listen to investors before they listen to the community that made them who they are today . All it costed us was our time and volunteering. RIP Reddit

    Reddit just isn’t for you. They have about half a million dollars in hosting costs every month. That means they’re probably not going to even be able to make it the type of platform that IMO it should be. I don’t blame them for that. It just means their platform isn’t for you.

    Let it go. IDK whether Lemmy is the answer, but Reddit isn’t. I don’t think the answer is to try to influence their behavior through pressure. Just let it go.

    No one blames them for trying to balance costs vs income. People are upset about them being greedy. Yes, they pay for hosting of the content, but the content was not created or provided by them. The content is from the community.

    They have shown recently that they don’t care what the community wants. They want what they want, which is to be profitable so they can IPO. They are willing to lose all of the power users they have pissed off in search of that goal.

    That is not a place a community can thrive without being inundated with bots spamming the living dog shit out of it. A community that is built and moderated by itself, cares about the content. Reddit does not. They now care about the money.
