Reddit CEO calls unpaid moderators' concerns "noise" - time to send a message he won't forget.
  • 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

  • Ever since the Reddit API revolt began, I've been hearing about its similarities with Digg's downfall. So I looked it up online, and it really has some crucial similarities.

    Digg failed because of poor product decisions, rising competition from other platforms, internal problems amongst its staff, and users trying to game the system for their own gain.

    What Happened To Digg? 4 Reasons Why It Ultimately Failed

    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.

    Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going?
  • 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

  • Anyone else a little disappointed how the blackout is going?
  • 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.
