It's so weird to see all the people still fighting on Reddit when I've already moved on

Most importantly I think the app devs have moved on. They'd have to do something particularly amazing to lure them back. That's the death knell.

Yes, I think the biggest mistake spez made was sending all the best devs on the platform directly to his biggest competitor.

I really dont see a point in fighting at this point. Reddit is dead for me.

The point is to trash the site so new users don't join, if they replace the number they lost they can say "hey look, we recovered in only 6 months"

I haven't even looked back. I have been through this a few times before. Yahoo chat and myspace to Facebook. They aren't EXACTLY the same. But I have seen it enough to know that they clearly aren't listening to their users.

Eh, I’ll go against the grain and be honest. I still use it on my desktop at home. Zero mobile use. The user base and information there is still massive at the moment. Once that changes it’s in my rear view, but I won’t pretend like I don’t.
