Earnest question, what did the $30/year get you? I never gave them a penny out of my own pocket, didn’t know why I would.
It’s a win win. Either they don’t go that, and lots of posts and comments say, “come join us here in the fediverse!”, or they delete the posts and comments which still deprives reddit of our content for them use to make money.
I’m abandoning reddit in phases. I’m keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I’m participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.
Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.
One or two days before June 30, I’ll edit all of my comments and posts to say I’m leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.
I’ve still got my 4 digit account.😏
Slashdot, one of the first predecessors to reddit, had ratings good comments like, “insightful”, “informative”, “funny”, “redundant”, “off topic”, and more.
I always thought it was much better than just I’ll or down vote.
