should we be discussing reddit less?
(beehaw.org)
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

No?
Let people grieve, man. Beehaw getting more popular as a discussion platform is 99% because of the overnight management collapse of Reddit. Of course people are going to feel down and want to talk about a community space that was home for many, many people for over a decade.
I understand if you're getting weary of the constantly discussion, but it'll gradually taper off over the next few weeks as this drama dies down. Or until Spez gets tired of constantly making angry, short-sited decisions and statements to any media outlet that will listen to his rants.
People will make alternative platforms their new home rather than dwell on their lost one eventually. Even if the bad press makes Reddit eventually walks back their decisions, the way they're handled the API change fallout has been so overtly aggressive and dismissive IMO they've permanently incinerated all trust in their leadership amongst many. I definitely never want to go back.
I've never seen a social media platform treat the wishes of its users with such contempt so abruptly. Some shareholder must be breathing down Steve's neck real heavy.
