how many of you have genuinely ditched reddit? (aussie.zone)

due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

I don't plan to ditch Reddit. But I'm extremely pessimistic about Reddit's future due to the horrible decisions the CEO has made.

I don't think Reddit will die immediately from this. There will be months, maybe years, of activity. But the crippling blow has been dealt. The community (even if it returns to Reddit) has lost trust and faith in the leadership and administrators. And I don't think that trust will be won back, ever.

I do feel for Huffman's predicament. His job is to turn this company profitable, when it has never been profitable before. I don't know if I would have performed "as well" as he has, and I likely would have been a worse leader in many respects.

Dear dragontamer,
Your username alone makes me near-certain that you would be better, because it seems to not be spez.
