> definitely more of a mod revolt than a user revolt

As a user I completely disagree.

As a user, I want to use a UI that works for me. I don't want to use a mobile website that prevents me from reading comments and forces me to use an app.

As a user, I want a service that releases quality of life fixes, not a service that says the fixes are coming for years but instead decides to release half-baked features every 6 months chasing some other feature in some other flash-in-the-pan social media service.

As a user, I want adware, low quality comments, and rule breaking comments removed from my subreddits. If the mods are upset at reddit because the mods can't effectively maintain those subreddits, then I'm upset at reddit too.

As a user, I want open APIs so I can log into different services to see better stats on my own account.

As a user, I want to see notifications that let me know when someone replied to me, not random junk notifications that I get automatically opted into.

As a user, I want to be able to edit my comments while I'm writing them and not have them unrecoverably and randomly delete mid-edit.

This wasn't just some mod revolt, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. I spent 9 years being part of a community fixing other's code and linking to my own code as examples that others can draw from. I deleted my 9-year old account 2 days ago: https://i.imgur.com/m54CBan.png




You'll be back.


Many of us left Twitter not too long ago, and have not returned. I wouldn't be so sure.


That's Twitter. They'll be back to Reddit before long.


HN, lobste.rs, and kbin are serving me just fine.
