Reddit just wrapped up its second earnings call as a public company and CEO Steve Huffman hinted at some significant changes that could be coming to the platform.

    It’s the same with Twitter. People love to cry out loud, especially when something shitty like this happens. Look at the API debacle last year. How many people were outraged about it and how many people actually left?

    Just like twitter, many users are addicted to the site and just like Twitter the higher ups know that. They will continue with their BS, because too many people just can’t let go. I don’t blame them. The blackout felt like quitting smoking all over again and weirded me the fuck out.

    There will be another wave of users switching to the Fediverse. And I welcome everyone looking for a new “home”. But it just won’t be enough for wrecking Reddit or even make its higher ups reconsider.

        I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I do agree with you, some people are better in that containment cage. At the other there’s something emotionally satisfying on Reddit dying.
