That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

I think it is very much a case of developers building, or expanding apps. It's easy to forget that many of these apps are in their developments infancy, because so (technically speaking) is the server software.

There will also, inevitably, be an interplay between app developer and server developer. Work arounds producing accepted items that other apps need to include (for those that remember, think text colour codes on IRC, mostly driven by mIRC (short have history, YMMV, etc etc)

Mind you, I'm wondering if all this federation will bring people back to IRC..
