    I wish he wasn’t right, but he probably is.

    The Imgur, tictok, Twitter, Instagram merging machine with bots, spam, ads, and privacy invasion is ready to go, sir!

      It might…but, then again, once the API is closed and the “objectionable” subreddits are banned in order to prepare for an IPO, the resulting landscape there might be much the same as when the blackout was in force.

        A really good point was made in another thread. Reddit should stay open, and those that want to flock to it can and should. Consider it a natural filter. If the technological bar is too high to get to communities like lemmy and kbin, that might be a good thing. Segmentation of like-minded individuals allows for cohesiveness in the community. Yeah, it could have worked on reddit, but times change. Most people oddly don’t vote with their wallet, but those of us who do, are now here.
