    Founded in 2005 by web developer Steve Huffman and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian, Reddit became best known for its niche discussion groups and its users voting “up” or “down” on the content posted by other members.

    Disgraceful, disgusting, lying scum. Say his name: Aaron Swartz

      I’m on voyager now. Thank you. :)

      My shortcut is still called wefwef but I know what I’m using haha, I’m just lazy.

      I love the app and you made my transition from Apollo so easy. I would probably be wandering around in the dark with no content if you hadn’t pulled this off. So again, thank you.

          I’m using it right now, it’s so much more usable than Lemmy. But that’s whats great about opensource. You can come up with your own changes or a big group can polish an ugly turd into something awesome.

    Contrary to many in here, I don’t think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

      If Facebook hasn’t had a mas exodus, neither will Reddit.

      Facebooks death is slow and ongoing, and I’m pretty sure Reddit’s will be too.

        I don’t know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it’s your selection bias, but facebook’s userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta’s other platform Instagram.

          Because many more people are concerned with where their friends are and what’s cool.

              Because they don’t care who owns what platform. They care that they’re different and only some of their friends are on one of them and not the other.

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see lemmy activity spike in March. Probably not as big as during the API debacle, but still.

    Is it even worth anything to investors anymore at this point? Huffman kind of destroyed any faith anyone had in Reddit, seems like it’s just going to slowly turn into an ad distribution service to scam people who don’t know any better lol
