I'm gonna make an outlandish prediction that Spez will no longer be CEO of Reddit Inc within the next six months. He's made some incredibly bone-headed decisions and if the IPO does happen, Reddit are either going to be valued really low to the point where they could face a hostile takeover from a more competent tech giant, or Reddit's existing shareholders are going to oust him in a revolt.

Either way, Spez has pissed off a lot of angel investors and has driven a good chunk of people towards Tildes and Lemmy. When this place (and other Lemmy instances) looks like an increasingly viable alternative to Reddit, it's going to eclipse the main site once we get decent apps like Sync and Boost.
