Reddit will be fine in the short term sure, but anyone who actually gave enough of a shit to put in the effort needed for it to work well have left or stated that they will no longer do anything more than the bare minimum. Reddit will still be around for a while, but it will never be the same place it was, and eventually will just become irrelevant as it's overrun with trolls and scammers. I give it 3 - 5 more years before it disappears without fanfare and no one will care.

I'm not normally the kind of person that takes pleasure in seeing others fail. At least I try not to be.

I really want to see Steve Huffman fail though

It took a little while, but they eventually learned not to knock on my door anymore lol After several tense encounters where I brought up the more unsavory parts of the Bible I finally got a doormat that just said "go away" on it. I think I was put on a list after that because that doormat wore out almost 3 years ago and no one from the local churches have ever come back here since

I have no intention of going back to Reddit, but I can't bring myself to delete the profile yet lol

It looks like an interesting article, however I couldn't read it due to 75% of the screen being taken up by ads that could not be closed. I managed to read a paragraph before they covered up pretty much the whole rest of the article

I think this is a federal crime in the United States. The fact that you used the sugar free versions probably just added an extra decade to your sentence lol

Those are some awfully penis-y looking fireworks lol

Splitting the US like that would be absolute chaos and probably result in several civil wars. This would also destroy all federal aid programs and I can guarantee no states are going to step in to fill that void. Dividing the country further than it already is will not solve anything.

I usually have to switch to a mindless game or else I will stay up all night. The downside is that I end up dozing off and dropping my phone lol

So you mean Reddit gives mods a bunch of worthless garbage, er I mean "moon tokens", and then it's up to the mods to convince someone else that it's worth something and trick them into buying it?

That just makes me even more glad I'm not there anymore lol

I invested so much time into it. It feels like deleting a draft of a novel or something

A million or more people leaving will not have that big of an effect on its own, no. Since most of the people who left were the people who actually cared though will eventually make a difference. Everything that's wrong with Reddit now is going to get 10 times worse. Popular subs will be overrun with trolls and spam. Mods won't care anymore since no one apparently cared about the work they did. Eventually it will turn into a marketing tool for shitty bands to sell albums, and scammers to rip people off like Myspace did so long ago.

It might take a year or two or even 5 before it is unrecognizable, and that will be now Reddit ends. No one will care by then. It probably won't even make the news

Reddit isn't ever going to pay anyone to mod a sub. They'll drag all of this out until the IPO and then sell off the whole site to the highest bidders who will probably scrap it all and turn it into a new TikTok app or something.

By that time Steve Huffman will be on a private beach somewhere not giving a single fuck about what happens to all the redditors who made him rich

If you're going on Quora to get advice on how to "sound professional" then you've probably failed already

I just registered to get Boost for Lemmy as soon as it's released. I think seeing it in a more familiar context will make things easier moving here from Reddit

It's a beautiful box! Can we get the fiesta corn dip recipe too though?

Goddamnit I just ate and now this is making me hungry again lol

I remember when this came out I wanted to try it so bad but my parents said it would make the food look gross and refused to buy it lol

Boost is still working too for some reason even after they sent me a notice that it would shut down today. I'm already done with Reddit though, I really don't want to go back there anymore lol
