Reddit tanking could push people to a more decentralized and neutral use of the internet. I can only hope!

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This whole debacle was the final straw for me to finally kick Reddit and move to a decentralized non-corporate platform, and I know I’m not the only one. Really hoping the general migration picks up a ton of speed after July 1st and more people learn that the federated model isn’t too scary or hard to understand🤞

Probably following the Apollo announce. Good luck with that, it's probably too late.
Finding questions he actually answered in this thread is quite difficult, so it's easier to just look at his comments: https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/comments/
This sort of circus is what happens with communities led by corporate greed. I’m taking a deep breath and I’m letting go.
It will be a dumpster fire. 🗑️🔥
How is hearing the same thing from the most hated person on Reddit meant to do anything but further aggregate users?
Free lemmy marketing I guess.
Any idea what time this is supposed to begin?
The Verge reports the following:
CEO Steve Huffman is set to host an AMA about the changes on Friday; the company aims to start it at 1:30PM ET / 10:30AM PT.

They didn't specify. They literally just said we're gonna do an AMA tomorrow. Chances are it isn't really an AMA so much as a "press release" with pre-answered questions of their choosing.

Waiting around for the shitshow. Reddit has been dying way before this API change. Moderation has been absolute shit and he has done nothing about it.
I don't think this will end well... People are going to grill him, which he honestly deserves.
I can't imagine this going well at all. In fact, I'll be avoiding the whole thing, and y'all probably should too. We wouldn't want to get accused of brigading and give spez an easy out, after all.
Oh that is going to be quality entertainment.
Too late. I just deleted everthing
