Jesus, this is escalating fast. I never actually thought admins would go to such crazy lengths. Such pathetic desperation!

I fully expected Reddit to fight dirty, but it's still surreal watching the iron hand come down against the community. Silver lining, I hope this helps accelerate the migration to the fediverse.

I remember ten years ago sharing beers with admins who visited London. Back when there was a push for developing local communities and Global Reddit Meetup Day. There was good vibes and a feeling of mutual respect.

I met my wife through Reddit.

I still have so much affection for the site in my heart.

It's just wild to me how much has changed.

Really glad I never got that Snoo tattoo now.

Reddit isn't the first online community I watched outgrow itself into the grave. I guess it's just the cycle of social media. Here's hoping this time's different.

Myspace, Livejournal, Facebook, Digg, Twitter, Reddit

The exact reason not to get tattoos of weird corporate shit.

We knew that this was a possibility since day one. The mods took a stand anyways, risking it all for the community. Still a shame to see it happen.

What's there to risk? Their unpaid labor? This is what spez doesn't seem to realize

Well, getting locked out is no fun. But yeah, you're right, reddit loses out more (on the unpaid labour of love).
