Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon." (kbin.social)

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

On a personal level, I am done with Reddit. I am on kbin for general news and sports and stuff and my Science-Fiction/Fantasy community is creating a lemmy instance for us to cater to that niche of people, so between that I will be set.

But I am a mod on some very special fan sites on Reddit and I gave my word to the communities there to be there for them and I won't abandon my mod duties, so my only reddit activity will be mod actions and modmail responding. Some of our members are migrating and some are staying but it's a tight-knit fandom and I'm not going to abandon those that stay.
