    It looks like it is going to be a pyrrhic victory for Spez. You’re right in that we don’t know the knock-on effects of this decision, including if Reddit can get long time users to jump to the official app and if moderators will continue volunteering time.

    I suspect a lot of subs are now going to create contingency plans for leaving Reddit, even if they don’t implement them.
