To frame it a different way, there was nothing special about Reddit except the community, and that community can live anywhere.
What's funny is not that a community migrated, because we've seen communities migrate before. But what's funny is that the Reddit administrators didn't expect it or don't care.
Until a sub has even 1/100 of the activity on here compared to reddit why would they care?
edit: Even then, they're hoping to have cashed out by then so they still won't care as long as the IPO goes smoothly
On the one hand you're absolutely on point. It's all about the money, not the quality.
But some people also care about their reputation. Some people value integrity and progress. I wonder what story they tell themselves. Or do they.
