This will get interesting.

      Yikes! That will only render the Reddit self-sabotage to be irreversible. It really has become morbidly entertaining watching Spez’s overly fragile ego result in that site burning itself to the ground in such spectacular fashion over the last few days. If it wasn’t for the third party app devs getting screwed over financially in the process after the rug was pulled from under them.

      This place looks to be a silver lining to this whole saga at least. It definitely feels more homely over here with its throwbacks to how forums used to be. It feels like people can actually have a proper conversation again.

        It really does feel good to not be constantly walking on eggshells out of fear of saying the ‘wrong thing’, or not agreeing with the subreddit’s agenda (and holy FUCK is it nice not having to scroll past the first 30+ unfunny quippy replies to find a serious comment.) I’m honestly happy this all went down. Even if it doesn’t kill the website (which I’m sure will be the case), they’ve shown their hand more than enough times now to the point longtime users like myself (12 years, personally) are unwilling to return. I like it here far more, and the overall concept is massively appealing to me.
