A little searching with DuckDuckGo reveals that this tweet was made in January 2023. Not sure whether it's also bot-vomited from a previous instance of the same remark. It's telling that the r/all post doesn't link to the tweet or give a date.

ETA a link to the tweet in question: https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1617333819660718081

LOL, that's how Reddit's traffic is "back to normal".

I actually think it will be much bigger. I'd be surprised if there aren't a lot of users in the wait-and-see-how-bad-it's-really-going-to-be camp, although they probably won't start showing up until a few days after the 1st.

Don't know how others are seeing the image with your post, but for me, the thumbnail is squinched up horizontally, making the little Reddit dude look like a naked dementor standing on a burning hellscape. Or maybe I'm just projecting a little...

Modding aside, my experience of Discord is that it's great if you want to use it like a chatroom, but it sucks if you're trying to search for information. I wouldn't think Discord would work well for something like legal advice.

Anyone who feels their Reddit experience is being ruined can create new subs to host the content they want to see, and I encourage them to do so. I guarantee it will be an educational experience, especially for anyone who's never been a mod.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them do, right around July 1. It's good to see some of them are already setting up new communities in the Fediverse. Hope that catches on.

I'm thinking Reddit's handling of this is going to be a case study for executive MBA programs in the future, as in, "What not to do."
