Will Reddit ever cave in?

3 years ago by UngaBunga to c/reddit

Exactly as the title says, do you guys think Reddit will buckle and at least be more reasonable or maybe even reverse their current decisions?

Honestly I think the AMA showed that they are not backing down. Spez answered like 14 total questions on an AMA with 30k comments the last I checked. They don't seem to care, and I don't see there being a significant number of people actually leaving reddit either, the alternatives just don't fix the problems people are having with reddit. If you use a 3rd party app because it has more features, are you going to leave the platform for another platform that only has one 3rd party app?

We're here, aren't we?

Reddit has done many shady, anti-user, and blatantly corporate things over the years, but effectively killing off the way I've interfaced with Reddit for over a decade is the biggest and final nail, of many, in the coffin of Reddit's death to me. Rest in Piss.

I agree. I found it easier to transition because I follow mostly smaller tech subreddits that already had a presence here, or quickly started one. I only posted 70 comments total and almost nothing recently. I am more concerned about the power users, mods, and people who need things like screen readers not being able to make the jump. In my opinion Lemmy needs those users more than lurkers.
