Apparently the Reddit AMA with Steve Huffman went about as well as it could go off the rails. (techcrunch.com)

I feel like this person's comment re the AMA deserves a wider audience 😂

While i can't imagine how much of a shit sandwich spez is eating behind the scenes. he's just made it so much worse for himself. Dude should resign, cash out, do whatever.

i read the tifu he posted and wanted to laugh. talks out one side of his mouth about community yet they are forcing these changes through the community doesnt like without any care and lying about the devs who provide us with good functional apps to use reddit. thats not something someone whos trying to build a community does.

That tifu was a fake, it wasn't posted by spez

I don't really want to delete my history, so I'm editing all my top comments to include:

>Edit 2023/06/10: Leaving Reddit due to /u/spez doubling down on API changes. Will keep post history for future visitors.

I doubt Reddit didn't make backups of their databases anyways so this will let more people know what's going on.

You know you can download your data before you delete it, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The problem is other people can't find that data.

If Reddit doesn't back down, I will likelky be shutting down my subreddit. But I'll put it in read-only mode rather than killing it entirely, because there is useful information there and I don't want to contribute to link rot.

Doesn't Reddit deserve link rot at this point? And contrariwise, does Reddit deserve to capitalize on your work and the work of the members of your subreddit?

I wonder what your members might say if you put it to them?

Probably a good thing for Kbin as lots of Redditors will come to this site as a replacement, myself included (though I'm currently just trying it out).
