I just want all of reddit to move to kbin and done with reddit, spez had his chance to correct his course, but instead went full throttle on idiocy.
I miss reading reddit but will not use it any more since the powers that be forgot what makes their corner of the internet work, the users.

Yeah and considering it’s the users creating the content, for free, only a full blown idiot would shit on such a golden ticket. Hope he lives with nightmares of John Oliver’s face forevermore.

Reddit used to be some kind of refuge from the unmitigated cesspool of corporate bullshit that other social media have become. Or so I kept telling myself. The fact is they're doing all they can right now to jump headlong into said cesspool. Social media that isn't centralized and owned by greed driven megacorporations is the only way forward in my opinion. I hope kbin/lemmy/Mastodon can become that.

the cesspool makes money.

places with less bullshit don't. they lose money.

I agree, but it's going to take a few months for the Fediverse alternatives to reddit to ramp up with apps / server capacity / etc; we want the demise of reddit to be inevitable but slow, so that by the time Lemmy and Kbin and friends are seeing MAUs in the 7-figure range the infrastructure is there to support all of them.
