Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.
im confused why people a. think spez had enough control to make these decisions. b. that killing the 3rd party apps wasnt the point.
almost zero notice, exorbitant costs for stripped access…
there was never going to be a compromise. ‘they’ want to wall their garden, and thats all she wrote
There’s a lingering belief that Spez is the same Spez who criticized Digg as too corporate and described Reddit in terms of community. It’s difficult, sometimes, for people to realize when fellow travelers are no longer fellows.
There’s also some satisfaction in knowing that in the end, you did all you could to avert a bad outcome. Even if it passes, you don’t need to have regrets.
Because they don’t want it to be true.
They just need time to go through the stages of mourning.
I don’t think they’re in denial. I think they’re just hoping to save their community.
I think some of their communities are still in denial. That there’s a deadline of 6/29 for Reddit to make a response is a hint that the mods may come back on the 30th and say, "Reddit’s not changing their stance. We’re setting up a new community on X. "
