I’m just annoyed the local community group I primarily use Reddit for is dark. I don’t see why this helps anyone. Reddit is a private company, go someplace else. I think 99% of users don’t care, or don’t care enough to do anything substantial. Just move on.

Reddit is a private company that runs on the donated labor of thousands of people doing moderation and policing.

99% of users rely on that labor. And it isn't a given some other forums will rise to the same level.

This dumb trope of "economics will ensure an equivalent product will appear" is a laissez faire fantasy.

I moved from Twitter to BlueSky and am much happier. Mastodon wasn’t for me. When I log into Twitter now it’s just to see how bad it’s gotten and I log out.

I’m sure it will be similar for Reddit - no clear “winner” at first, but the start of a gradual and irreversible decline for the incumbent.
