There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it’s important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?
I’ve personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.
Been there for almost 12 years. I’m not going back unless something drastic changes, and even then I might drift between Lemmy and Reddit considering there’s no guarantee Reddit will “be good” in the future.
Yeah, totally understandable. That’s quite a run. As you’ve said even if they were to backpedal and reverse everything- which they won’t there’s definitely no guarantee it won’t just happen again in the future. It seems like they’re using a heavy hand this time, and now they’re even threatening to oust mods for protesting.
