Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.
I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?
Well, they seem to be shadowbanning legitimate users all the time, and leaving the bots. Every post has dozens or hundreds of incoherent replies.
And now they also added some weird translation feature on new reddit, so if you’re on old reddit you start seeing posts and comments in every language with no way to easily translate it.
My old account got hacked, its history wiped and is now hawking cryptoscams. I’ve reported it long ago, but the admins don’t give a shit.
