I do miss the niche communities and educational ones on Reddit, but Lemmy is great so far.

I don't think anyone would care about someone wearing reddit gear but who the hell was doing that in the first place?

In conversation with a few others? At the prices they were talking about no one will use it. It was something like hundreds of dollars per year per user to reddit.

I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public.

Lol, good ole fearmongering. Also,

The only long term solution is improving our product

Loading shit with ads is hardly improving it. I mean it will make you more money, and thats all that matters under this shitty system of ours, but thats still not improving.

Reddit is going to be a ghost town in a few months at this rate. If they wanted to push the website and app so hard, why not just make using a client a premium feature and charge for it? Give the users the option. Instead they had to go the worst route possible with this.

Honestly, whatever Reddit does at this point doesn't matter. Lemmy works decently and for all else, why not try using something different? The internet is a bigger place than it seems. I prefer touching grass to wasting any more time thinking about Reddit.

Imagine trying to fight the internet...

Well he threw us the gauntlet. Let's pick it up.

An anagram for Steven Huffman is ‘Tuff Shaven Men’.

He has a point with keep going forward. The reaction of reddit admins is what makes the change easy for me. I can waste my time here.

I work on a corporate team and often companies will allow team members to wear anything to work as long as it’s branded. This, employees have an incentive to spend that money to customize their look at work, if that’s important to them. It is to some people.

My company has a code that brings all items down to cost, and I have bought some uniform items that way to mix up what I wear at work.

The company that I work for is a small business with a great local reputation; wearing my company’s logo is a positive for me. Can’t say that would be the case if I worked for Reddit.
