Several subreddits are allowing porn and not-safe-for-work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.
I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.
The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.
It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.
They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.
Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.
