Many still seem unhappy with the company’s plan.

Right. Coming soon. For arbitrary values of soon. And definitely after the API cutoff.

I would not recommend holding your breath.

I’m a Star Citizen backer from the first Kickstarter. I’ve heard “Soon” before.

To be fair you’ll be hearing “soon” after as well.

We can set the price now, make everyone happy again, then change it after IPO! Got to make those first couple quarters look good!

App. Singular. They killed off everything else, remember Verge?

Well technically they killed off everything else except accessibility apps, which they promised not to kill off, at least until they implemented accessibility in their own apps.

at this point there is no “walking it back” for many unless spez and a number of employees are removed and replaced. Even then, i dont think I can ever trust the org. At the end of the day thier objectives re:IPO put thier goals in direct contravention of what reddit is or was.

The site simply is no longer able to function as it was, and there is really no way to fix that. They may have simply handed thier business to meta without getting meta to buy them out.

A lot of users will stay, but some left. I hope they will be enough to replace the content machine Reddit with the fediverse.

Exactly. At this point I’m more invested in fediverse services. Between that and RSS feeds, they scratch 90% of the dopamine itch that Twitter and Reddit did. If the communities just continue to expand a little bit more at the rate they’re already going, I’ll have no desire to look back.

The posters/commenters/lurkers ratio of reddit is highly disbalanced. If enough posters (which are a tiny fraction of userbase) come to lemmy, the rest will follow.
