I was reading an article from The Verge - they've linked all the juicy parts of the AMA. I don't have a Reddit account anymore since hearing about what their plans were a few weeks ago. It looks like Reddit is facing a very real, self inflicted meltdown.
Fyi - it looks like the reviews for Reddit on the Google Play Store have been locked as well to prevent review bombing.
@lemmy_steve @AineLasagna it’s such an obvious cash grab and not at all fair to the communities or moderators that provide content and manage communities for FREE. Sad to see it go.
Also not sure how to go about making my mastodon feed closer to Reddit but that’s at least my first plan
try Kbin!
I think the writing has been on the wall for a long time. Reddit, in it's stupidity, likely underestimated the response / backlash from its users. Next, I'm guessing spez will step down or get fired.
