    This is fucking hilarious!

    Imagine the conversation;

    “Okay so what’s the situation?”

    “Sir we lost most of the devs and tech savvy people”

    “Shit that’s bad. What else”

    “Lot of unpaid volunteers that moderated the most popular subreddits left too!”

    “What the fuck! This is bad. Really bad. What else?”

    “Powerusers that created and shared content left too. We have significantly less upvote count on posts of /r/all!”

    “Fuck! We need a plan! Let’s make people forget we cannot operate a website. What can we do?”

    “Well /r/place has always been successful in the past. We’ve had great results with this”

    “You are a genius! This is perfect! They will forget we fucked them over and this whole fiasco will be swept under the rug and we can finally move forward!”

    /r/place :

        Sorry I meant the devs that used the API to creates 3rd party apps, fun subreddits bots & RES style addons. Basically the people that made Reddit what it was. At least, the ones I know joined the fediverse and haven’t logged back into their reddit account since July 1st or before!

      Is that actually true? Sounds too good to be true, and the statistics I’ve seen so far don’t support it (been a couple of weeks, though).
