    Most 3rd party Reddit apps will be gone, and Reddit have shown willingness to move to a far more closed model than it used to be. Mods were and are not the only ones to leave.

      Yeah people like you and me care about that, but let’s face it, if the average user cared about how shitty social media sites treat them then FB and Twitter would be deserts

        FB is a desert compared with the old days, and Twitter will get there as well. Maybe the “AI revolution” can replace all the organic human content with fake people, but that’s about their only chance long term. If you can even call such a thing a “win”.

          I hope that is the case with FB but according to my American friends it’s still the social media site of choice for racist uncles everywhere

      Only a few technical people care about it and it’s an ideological thing. Just wait and watch. Nothing will change, maybe things will break for a day or two, but by Thursday no one will remember it.

        Do you remember Orkut? Digg? Slashdot?

        Revisit Reddit one, two, three years from now. I think you might be surprised.
