Ngl, us r/efugees are not happy with things over there.

As much as I'm coming to enjoy this, it still isn't what reddit was, nor is the app experience anything close to as feature rich. But, I'm finding other benefits here that are, and never were, possible at reddit, so it's still a good thing :)

Reddit is proof that no publicly traded company, nor any that intends to be, can be trusted with anything. Not use that was ever in doubt, but reddit has shown it in such a glaring, grotesque way that it's the poster child for how shitty corporate thought is.

I dunno. I was enjoying things. I had started moderating two subs I deeply cared about, with one having a strong sense of community building. There's an emotional response to the loss of that. But I'll be damned if I'm going to put in the work, put in the passion, when it's shit on by the very company that profits from my free labor. fuck spez, fuck reddit

God dam right friend.

The best parts of reddit were the communities of people dedicated to the topics under each sub.

Reddit CEOs didn't create that. It was and has always been regular users and hardworking Mods that brought us what we loved about reddit. If reddit isn't going to protect those people, fuck em.

I'm signing off of reddit with the black out. There will probably be a long time before something replaces it. But I'm a long for the ride.

I mean it seems so obvious in retrospect I suppose. I hope we're looking a the start of a real renascence for the internet, away from corporate overlords.
