Reddit just wrapped up its second earnings call as a public company and CEO Steve Huffman hinted at some significant changes that could be coming to the platform.
Lemmy isn’t THAT hard to use, but it’s def not as user friendly as Reddit at first glance. That’s why I waited a bit to come here. Turns out that it’s not that hard, but it def does NOT look friendly when you come from Reddit. So many versions, you don’t know which one, so many instances, etc.
But reddit has become such an asshole if one doesn’t subscribe to their exact political narrative, I finally switched over today. I legit got banned because I posted a news article about the Green Party to the r /politics sub.
I immediately used VPN and just created another account, so not a huge deal. But then I was like, why? I want something new. Fuck reddit.
So the news that reddit may start charging is just icing on that shitcake.
The Boomers and Xoomers can destroy Reddit like they did Facebook while Spez sells the data from the golden years.
It won’t last long. I am guessing almost all of prime Reddit years have been scraped and the interest in the AI shitposting that remains won’t be worth much for anyone.
