Usual bait and switch from Reddit. Pretty much all investor funded companies follow this path sooner or later. Lock the platform, squeeze the profit. Sad, but not much can be done about it.

Anyone else remember the giant exodus from Digg.com to Reddit? No one I know talks about Digg.com any more. But hey, maybe it is profitable.

Sure.

But there was reddit.com for people to migrate to.

Let's see the 99% figure out the fediverse.

This change will be slower, but it seems a truth that in life, inside a company and in communities, there are some people who do much more work / have more influence than others. If the best / brightest / most helpful etc people leave, there's rarely much more than a shell left.

I think the Fediverse will slowly pick up steam, and perhaps rival reddit in 5 or 10 years. Which is fine. One long-term advantage of the Fediverse is that it's more immune to corporate shenanigans. And ultimately, for all of us, this is a long game.

I honestly can’t figure out how to engage with the fediverse. I keep asking but it just doesn’t make sense. This from a person who had no problem with IRC.
