    Yeah, what was unthinkable a few months ago is now an ever growing reality.

    If ever reddit had a crisis management division, the people there didn’t understand what reddit really was.

    Even spez forgot what made reddit special. Or a very big possibility is he never knew it from the beginning at all. It can be argued that reddit was the vision of aaron.

      My theory is a bit more of an Illuminati conspiracy. I really don’t care what people think of my thoughts or of me.

      I think the powers that be want anything like Reddit to either die or degenerate. They (as in our wealthy owners) don’t want a happy healthy stable platform of free thinking, free talking individuals sharing ideas and openly and freely discussing the world’s problems so easily.

      They want Reddit to die or at least degrade.

      They’ll put up with the fediverse for the time being because it isn’t that big … but once it hits critical mass, there will be a slow corporate takeover and eventually another slow death and the process will repeat itself

        I think this is reading way too much into it. Reddit changed when the official app launched and regular people joined and started using it like a social media site. The quality of conversation has declined since then, until we ended up here. Losing API access was just the push we all needed to leave.
