To anyone still on Reddit and/or moderates a sub, I would recommend deleting all of your content. Reddit is going to continue making money off of whatever you post, even if it's helpful. If you're worried about preservation, submit your content through an archiver. Don't let them continue to make money off of you when you are not valued. Down with corporate overlords.

They are digging themselves in deeper than I expected. At this point, I don’t think I ever want to go back. This is just straight up a middle finger to their communities and contributors.

Reddit is digging their own grave.

Lol, I can't believe what I'm reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces "accessible to users." They've had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It's been crickets until this week.

Oh they're really sticking by this stupid decision aren't they. Well, they can't complain about being laid to rest if they're the ones who dug the grave, I guess

Let the mass deletions begin!

Everything they do just exacerbates the situation

The site will lose whatever tiny amount of cred it has left if they do this

The shit show at the fuck factory continues …

Fk them.

I'm wiping my comment history on that site and deleting my account. I'll never say the name of their website again just to deny the SEO.

I've held off given how much enjoyment/useful content I've historically found there. Was waiting to see if they at least gave an inch.

That site is dead to me.

Reddit is killing their own site this way.

Maybe the Apollo dev will surprise us and make an app for Lemmy. That might help sway users to try Lemmy.

I am going to be unpopular for saying this, but from reddits point of view it makes complete sense. Content they "have" is not viewable, so users that make it unviewable need to be removed.

A vast majority of users on reddit just consumes, they don't post. Maybe comments but not actual posts. So by making those users be able to view everything again, they will keep them on the site.

We can just hope that content quality goes down which would drive users away, but thats more a longterm thing.

I giggled when I read the following statement in Spez's memo:

, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail

Seems like they're well prepared /s

And I hope nobody is surprised.

Already deleted my Reddit account. Trying to get use to Lemmy. So far so good. 🫡

bring on the scabs.
