Reddit, a platform founded in part on the premise of openly and widely sharing information, is ready to put up some paywalls. In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.
I knew it was time to jump ship and go somewhere else. This is a much better place.
Welcome aboard! If you still have a reddit account, I’d encourage you to spread the love to other frustrated redditors - best way to do that that I’m aware of it to edit as much of your comment history as possibly to replace it with a how-to on getting started with the fediverse. Idk if it’s smoother now, but it was kinda overwhelming when I bounced over here a couple years ago.
It is indeed, a refreshing change of scenery.
Isn’t it great? I would suggest switching to all with hot, top 6 hours and scaled to get the best experience here. Active is the default, and it seems the least active ironically. I have it set as hot in my settings. When you get to know more communities (subreddits), your subscribed will be nice too.
