What is Reddit CEO Steve Huffman doing?::Reddit CEO Steve Huffman seems to be preparing the company for an IPO. But is what’s good for the IPO good for the business?

I agree with most of this article except about Discord being Reddit’s main competitor. I think Discord has a distinct enough feel that it’s almost kinda separate from other social media. It’s less so like a platform you make posts on and moreso a big text group with lots of features, which is perfect for some communities but stifling for others.

I don’t really get a lot of what people want to use Discord for. A couple web forums I used (ram by companies, for specific games) closed and they moved to Discord. How is IRC-style chat a replacement for a forum? They’re totally different formats.

It just doesn’t work for anything other than playing games together IMO.

Works well enough as a group chat / voice call app. That’s what it’s for. Before discord you had to pay for good group voice calls.

I don’t understand this community’s obsession with this man. If you’re no longer on his site then why do you care what happens to him or Reddit? Just move on.
