I'm gonna stay on my 3rd party app until the June 30 midnight close.. I want to try and witness one of the biggest tech crashes in modern history.
I really think reddit hubris has massively underestimated the user loss they're about to feel.
FUCK Em'!... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Honestly, even if it's not a huge crash, it's already shown a lot of people the better way of handling social media. Closer groups with access to a larger community. Seems far better than the monolith that is Reddit or Twitter.
The problem is default subreddits grow too big with no way to make it better once critical Mass is reached. I think federation solves Thar problem entirely, since it encourages interaction across more niche spaces.
You can handle growth, but you need to be strict about moderation, and a lot of people don't want to do that for some reason.
