Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon." (kbin.social)

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

Now that I think of it, I haven't checked Reddit either since coming here. I really do think once people set foot here or on any instance for that matter there's a good chance they won't want to go back. I also feel like, there's really nothing stopping people from striking up new communities to represent ones they (and others) may have lost, which is great. Also I have a similar approach on the ads, I run ad-guard DNS on my phone and it works with most things, but what it doesn't work with doesn't get a place on my phone.

I haven't been back since Saturday. I still have an account I hardly ever actually logged into, but I'm Fediverse all the way now.
