That's a very informative interview, I hope it gets some reach. It's the details that make this case so damning.

I'm so done with reddit. This won't be the end I'm sure, it's too big to die, but it can only get worse from here.

Myspace was huge and essentially died. Same with Digg. I don't think Reddit is too big to die.

Facebook was a massive step ahead in UX compared to Myspace. Lemmy, thus far, isn't. It's actually more difficult to start using. The idea behind it is great and worth supporting, but there needs to be a way to streamline the process of signing up on an instance. The fact that over half of the well known ones require approval alone is enough to make someone give up.
