Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

    I agree that the idea of federated Reddit (Lemmy/Kbin) is better but the user experience is currently not better.

    Granted, that’s a “newness” problem that should get easier with time but to jump from relatively straightforward Reddit to a more complicated federated system is a leap in complexity a lot of people do not want to deal with.

    The real driver for change will be when there isn’t anything interesting to look at or the entire thing is overrun with boys, ads, and trolls. The loss of mods might actually be the eventual downfall of Reddit.
