I don't really get why people are quick to trust them. It's highly unlikely (perhaps impossible) that they do something like this just to support the FOSS ecosystem or for the benefit of their users, so they do it for profit, and for them to profit from it, they have to control as much as possible of the entire protocol.

It's not rocket science really

I totally understand where people are coming from talking about freedom of speech, believe me, in my country that is non-existent, so I value it highly. At the same time, freedom of speech has its limits, what are those limits? It's hard to tell.

But this is going to be one of those things that define the whole atmosphere of this community.

Are those communities being helpful or entertaining in any positive manner? I personally don't think so.

Are they a gathering place for content/people that wouldn't benefit our community? I personally think so.

So, whatever it's decided is not going to be entirely right or wrong, but it will be a step in fostering an identity.

If someone new comes in, and is checking all kinds of communities, seeing that kind of thing might turn them away; on the other hand, by knowing that type of content is welcomed, other kind of people might be inclined to join.

That's my two cents on the matter, I'd personally cut all ties with that, being something with no clear benefits and some potential dangers.

I'm not seeing organization by the users in this case to do something like that, though it would be warranted and I'd personally take part in it, given that all the content in Reddit belongs to the users, and the users should have a say

Man those minimum requirements are music to my ears lol

Lovely build up to an amazing ending

It's amazing how propaganda operates, and how people buy it

I honestly don't know and wouldn't dispute it, because at the time I was a small kid. I just went by what most people say online (including but not limited to this blog post)

This is the thing for me too, I just don't want to be in a community where the mods/owners don't care AT ALL about the community and are unwilling to listen. That feels like any other social media to me, and it is not what I was on Reddit for.

With the amount of hype they have built for him, he is GOAT-conversation-level or Bust.

Sad because he could be an amazing player and people be disappointed.

This is it! The point is not just the 3rd party apps. They are just treating us as trash, and want to turn Reddit into something like Twitter or Facebook. Well go ahead, but people will migrate, and for a site that depends totally on the users, that's rough

Yeah they don't see the point, wich is the trajectory of the platform.

They are lying to everybody in order to push out of market the 3rd party apps, but that's one side of it, they are also, effectively, forcing you as a user to use a worse app just for them to get more money by doing less.

well, personally, I don't really care if people come here or not. I want that people who want to be here to be here, but not for this to be a massive site where everybody comes because it is "the new reddit".

And I also don't think about everyone leaving Reddit. The new Reddit works for some folks, not for us, so we come here and some other places. I don't want it to die either, it's just not my cup of tea anymore

Big signal of a sudden shift to dictatorship (maybe not so sudden idk I don't live in France)

He does, it's weird not a lot of people talk about it in my experience.

He spoke about it himself, he said he needs not necessarily to bulk up but to get stronger at his core and be more stable

where are these Jennifer Lawrence nudes? For Reddit bombing of course
