Man those minimum requirements are music to my ears lol

This is it! The point is not just the 3rd party apps. They are just treating us as trash, and want to turn Reddit into something like Twitter or Facebook. Well go ahead, but people will migrate, and for a site that depends totally on the users, that’s rough

He does, it’s weird not a lot of people talk about it in my experience.

He spoke about it himself, he said he needs not necessarily to bulk up but to get stronger at his core and be more stable

well, personally, I don’t really care if people come here or not. I want that people who want to be here to be here, but not for this to be a massive site where everybody comes because it is “the new reddit”.

And I also don’t think about everyone leaving Reddit. The new Reddit works for some folks, not for us, so we come here and some other places. I don’t want it to die either, it’s just not my cup of tea anymore

With the amount of hype they have built for him, he is GOAT-conversation-level or Bust.

Sad because he could be an amazing player and people be disappointed.

It’s amazing how propaganda operates, and how people buy it

I honestly don’t know and wouldn’t dispute it, because at the time I was a small kid. I just went by what most people say online (including but not limited to this blog post)

This is the thing for me too, I just don’t want to be in a community where the mods/owners don’t care AT ALL about the community and are unwilling to listen. That feels like any other social media to me, and it is not what I was on Reddit for.

I’m not seeing organization by the users in this case to do something like that, though it would be warranted and I’d personally take part in it, given that all the content in Reddit belongs to the users, and the users should have a say

I don’t really get why people are quick to trust them. It’s highly unlikely (perhaps impossible) that they do something like this just to support the FOSS ecosystem or for the benefit of their users, so they do it for profit, and for them to profit from it, they have to control as much as possible of the entire protocol.

It’s not rocket science really
