The open letters showed me those people only cared about their position in the first place. Otherwise they wouldn't be bargaining, knowing it's useless, they'd leave like the rest of us did
How about the; CaN't yOu ThINk AbOuT tHe CoMMunITy?!?!?! crap they have been telling themselves.
probably not. This ain't Star Trek, we don't know how to disintegrate a community, beam it down, and reintegrate it in the same shape in a different place.
the fall of Reddit implies the demise of many communities that called it home.
maybe it's fine in the long run, new communities form elsewhere and some of the people in the former end up in the latter, but it the short to mid term, it's traumatic for anybody that was emotionally invested.
I see those open letters as last ditch attempts to preserve a status-quo where maybe people can pretend a little longer that everything's okay.
in the end, everybody's gonna grieve this differently. I don't think it makes them bad people.
I don't think it makes them bad people, either, but this letter is so vague it sounds like begging.
