“Reddit cannot survive without its moderators. It cannot.” - The Verge

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I completely understand Reddit wanting to be as profitable as possible, however it's the approach to the users, developers, and blatant lack of care, respect and transparency that got my back up - suspect a lot of people may be the same. Communities always move and change, no platform is too big to fail.
All they had to do was allow Reddit premium users to access the site using third-party apps.
Yup. I was plenty happy to pay to keep using BaconReader. Give everyone a few months to set that up and I think things would've been fine. Instead, we get basically the most ham fisted way it could've gone.
Ohh interesting. Thinking about that, yah I would of signed up probably.
Not only this, but this has happened before. It was called Digg back in 2010.
I'm with you. I get needing to make money, but needing to go public and become just another cringe social media platform is just sad. RIP Reddit. Hello Lemmy.
I was waiting it out until I heard mods were being threatened. That's the final call.
I'm going to be replacing posts with links to my never used socials because who cares if I'm spamming at this point.
