The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.
I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.
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
I made some comments over the weekend about moving to kbin.social and the comments were removed. I feel like those of us already over here got out on one of the first escape pods; and now that we’re safe on the new planet, we can likely use some of that excess fuel to bring more refugees in. There’s just a risk of having your comment going to the store to buy a gallon of milk and buy a pack of smokes, or who knows, maybe they’ll start deleting coyote accounts.
