While I didn’t have much of a dog in the fight, Huffman’s response has completely turned me off of Reddit. He has asserted in his interviews that the platform is entitled to the free content and moderation, while accusing third party app developers of being leeches. He’s just another techbro douchebag and hopefully his greed bites him in the ass.
It’s just a matter of migrating them to a new platform. Lemmy has a small learning curve, but unfortunately it’s enough to turn off a lot of users. Hopefully with the influx of users, someone smarter than me can figure out how to streamline the user experience here.
