        Honestly, it seems what Reddit has been doing lately is far worse than anything Digg ever did. 🤷‍♂️ Digg basically just made a bunch of bad design decisions primarily but not entirely to please investors, and the majority of changes were not welcomed by the community.

        Reddit is straight up disrespecting their userbase and telling them to suck a fat one and deal with it, holding to their miserable decisions while openly suggesting their userbase is too weak to go anywhere else… And also doing so primarily to please misguided investors.

          I feel like Splez is dramatically overestimating his position. Pretty wild to tell your most dedicated users to basically fuck off.

            Yup. I was a user (different username) since 2008. I haven’t been back since June 12. I used Reddit daily. Even on vacation. Even on vacation in Europe when I’d be connected to Wi-Fi.

            See ya.

              I was also there since 2008, and was a heavy user. I’ve checked in a few times in the past month (a lot of my more niche communities haven’t moved over yet), but I don’t comment or interact anymore. Once Relay dies it’s off my phone (it’s already lost the homescreen shortcut), and if old.reddit dies I’m done forever.
