      I’m still struggling to believe that they’ve taken the wrong turn at every point.

      When this whole thing happened I figured they’d soften their stance a bit, only to go back on it months or years later and essentially boil the frog slowly. I figured I’d just move to the official app, not that big a deal, especially if they improve it.

      Yet 2 weeks later I’ve deleted reddit and running Jerboa now, the way the community rallied is nothing short of incredible and I’m really proud to be here.

      If there’s one thing I’ve come to realize during this whole debacle, it’s that they absolutely can, and probably will tomorrow.

      Never underestimate the power of greed and stupidity. They can handle this worse. The NSFW subreddits are difficult if not impossible to monetise. Reddit is also one of the biggest providers of porn on the Internet. It’ll be interesting how they resolve this conflict. I suspect that’s when handling it worse will kick in.
