we have had the first wave - and its gone well. second wave is incomming on or about the 30th - probably smaller, but no less committed (long term). after that its a war of attrition.
unrelated to your comment (sorta), but I just saw your comment update in real time after you edited it. I just thought that's a really cool feature and wanted to point it out :)
realtime comment subscriptions are pretty damn slick.
Ok that's pretty neat.
While it is neat I don't see it offering a good user experience.
The reason this shouldn't be in here, in a forum platform, is that if you go to the front page and try to read
newit keeps bouncing up and down because it's constantly updating.Ohh wow. Just logged into the desktop site. Even browsing Hot it bounces around. That's not good. I've been using Jerboa app and it's been fine.
I think the 30th will be smaller, but the ones who do participate will be more likely to go indefinite as users who just can't stand the official app are forced to quit.
Then the third wave when they finally kill off old.reddit.com
You know I see that a lot of people love old reddit. I was a fan of it 10 years ago. When it switched to the modern layout, I think I was kind indifferent at first. But trying to go back to it after all these years, it seems like a downgrade in many ways. I guess I'm not seeing what they're seeing lol.

Yup, it will be interesting to see what happens when the moderation really starts to suffer and subs are more and more full of ads, spam, trolls, and other kinds of problems.
Yep, I feel like a lot of people are forgetting about the wave coming at the end of the month. We’ll see plenty more people then.
