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'm in the same boat. I don't particularly mind using reddit during my work day because I can still do that in a web browser via old.reddit and RES. I honestly have no clue what new reddit even really looks like because my user experience hasn't changed in YEARS.

But I'm bitter as fuck about my personal time wasting ritual outside of work being seized from me. I've used their app a handful of times for different things and it's fucking abysmal. I'm just not interested at all in using it. I feel like a smoker being forced to quit. The period between now and whenever a "sync for lemmy" app is released is going to be long and painful.

But I'm here, and will do what I can to help this platform become something better. It's been incredible to watch it grow over a period of weeks. It felt so empty 4-6 weeks ago. Now it kinda has a "dorm move in day vibe." Boxes strewn about, doors propped open, everyone sorta mingling and chatting, asking/answering questions, giving tips, and a general air of excitement. Pretty cool.
