I want to compare this to how I felt about Digg, but it’s different. Digg was a platform that was okay, but then the redesigns happened and I didn’t care about wanting to leave.there wasn’t anything there that I really cared about. I remember finding Reddit in undergrad, creating the University’s subreddit, and watching it grow. I was active on subs I cared about, topics where my passions lie. Now it’s all gone, and time to start again.

I absolutely mourn the loss of a useful tool and my awesome communities. but I’m pretty excited to be watching something new grow out of it.
All we can do is learn from our mistakes. No more centralized social media; Fediverse or nothing.
I think reddit is making the same mistake that digg did. Making sweeping changes while disregarding their bases wishes.
I feel they are cocky.
