Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”
Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week does not have wide support and is led by a minority of moderators.
You're viewing a single thread.
Let's be honest.
A lot of us left because we saw the writing on the wall, even if we were a bit ambiguous on the exact details.
Enshittification to the max and as fast as possible.
Reddit user of over 10 years: I’m done. Let’s say they reverse course; it’s clear what they want to do and where they want to take the platform.
Enshittification has begun. It can’t be stopped, it’s self sustaining now.
Yep. It's not that Reddit is unusable in the official app, it's that it's a sign of more shit to come. I don't use other social media for a reason, Reddit doesn't have the command over my life that they think they do.
I've used Relay for over a decade. That app is reddit to me. I however do find the official app unusable.
Preach!
Without Relay, Vulcan won't be active on the Snoo Platform because of its dogshit official app.
Relay and old.reddit are reddit to me. I just know old.reddit is gone sooner or later.
I used rif. I can't stand the official app. I get that reddit has to make money to survive, like any company, but in the process of chasing that profit you chase away a good chunk of your site you're not gonna be profitable. Also I can't stand the way Spez is saying we're a community while trying to dictate changes the community absolutely hates and then attacking those leaving.
I'm hoping RIF's developer ports it to work with fediverse instances, or even better makes connecting to them the default so all of RIF's users join the fediverse.
Also so I can browse kbin with RIF.
Reddit in particular has very little besides it's massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don't use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.
Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn't need the "celebrity" accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.
