I really hope July 1st destroys reddit as we know it.

It won't immediately, but it's clearly a sinking ship.

Yyyeeeaaaahhh I think the world needs more open source and decentralized/selfhostable websites anyways. The Fediverse is the future simply because the internet needs to go back to being ran by the people, not megacorps.

Gonna be even more expensive to run a company that no one uses!

3% is bullshit. About 20% users use third party apps. Source: r/privatelife founder, and these are 12 month usage statistics.

However, this is also the most favourable scenario, being the largest authentic privacy subreddit not filled with Snowden/Assange dismissive mods. But it is around 20% rather than 3%.

Spez is now making up self contradictory nonsense and even attempting to create infighting between moderators from yesterday's statement he gave. Spez simply wants to leech off all the great content made by "guest bloggers" (a term old timers use) and all the unpaid moderation people have done. He is simply saying that the old relationship is over, and that all old users can fuck off, because new users are ready to consume an Instagram-ified official Reddit app with doomscrolling, chock filled with ads, a bloated UI and load of spying and tracking. Reddit also is astroturfed by US military teams, so that is tied into the reason why all Big Tech platforms are suddenly going hostile – to invent a new reality, devoid of any criticism against Western empire.

really went off the rails there lol. I could tell when you mentioned Snowden/Assange.

That fedposter behaviour continues to piss me off as a privacy stalwart.

It is, but pissing off the content creators (core of the business) is NOT the way to go.
