    I’m so excited to see Huffman burn his company to the ground. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone to fail as much as him.

      I just hope there is any fallout from this. I really hope start mass migrating off reddit, and people don’t begrudgingly return a couple days after all of this dies down

        I am personally leaving, friends/family also leaving. And Im blocking it on my network, and we got a “lets do it” to block it on our corporate network (1900+ employees). But everyone said “likely leaving”. Kbin maybe about to get the hug of death! May launch a selfhosters one! Lets do this

        I won’t be going back (reddit user since the digg v4 fiasco)

        I actually prefer the smaller communities, so lemmy is a breath of fresh air

        I very much doubt there will be.
        They have crunched the numbers, they know they can weather this storm.

        At the end of the day there will still be natural growth of reddit via people hearing about it and just grabbing the official apps from stores. A lot of techy types will leave, but they haven’t been the driving force behind reddit for a long time.

        Reddit will just start heading more towards influencer style content and less of the content that originally built the platform.

        My guess is that influencer style content is more profitable and less hazardous for them to host anyway.

        I created my account here because of this. Was on Reddit for over ten years. Won’t be using Reddit after June 30th. Trying to figure out what to do with the (smaller, but over 150k subs) subs I moderate now then I’m out.

        A ‘small’ portion of the Reddit community used Apollo & RIF (and other third party apps), but those were the power users and mods.

        There will for sure be some fallout.
