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.
No thanks, Spez.
Reddit sucks hairy balls.
That’s an insult to both hairy balls and sucking them.

Serious why aren’t more people flocking over here when we got such good third-party apps?
Yeah I know instances are little more complicated than a centralized platform.
I arrived today as a result of this news. I’m sure I’m not alone
I tried to explain the concept of Lemmy and most said this whole concept of federation sounds too complicated for some social media site they use on the toilet or when going to bed…
So I think accesibility ia the biggest problem, even though Lemmy isn’t actually that hard to use, it just sounds hard to use. I think many more people join in if they wouldn’t have to pick an instance
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.
That (oh and me getting banned for posting a positive news article about the Green Party to the main general politics sub) is why I found a new home here. Fuck reddit! lol
