      The downfall has already begun. The post quality has decreased severely over the last couple of weeks.

        I noticed this too, all of a sudden the subreddits that went dark or were relatively inactive all had like some sort of low tier post on the 31st or the 1st, I’m not sure which day TBH. I figured those were posts from scab mods that took over to see what activity of the subs were.

        I barely remember Digg ITSELF, but this still reminds me of how it FELT when Digg imploded and evacuated to Reddit.

          Y’all need to stop retelling the Digg fable to each other lmao. It happened 15 years ago in a totally different landscape and there were maybe 2M users on Digg most of whom were power users. You think the normies from /r/pics or /r/AITA are gonna evacuate from reddit ?

      Honestly sort of hope so, and I hope it’s swift. I really really wish for Spez to suffer as he has to explain to the shareholders how he has fumbled away all their invested money.

      CEOs of big social media companies are not that different after all, they all become the same.

        Tom from myspace did it right. Got a few hundred million and now just travels the world with his friends taking pictures.

          What? I had Tom in my #1 spot the whole time (didn’t want drama over who was #1), and he never once asked me to go on vacation.

      Users leaving is one thing but making moderation harder? Yea I don’t think that’s going to work out
