The only thing reddit can do is improve the first party app and mod tools. The rest is lost.

That being said I doubt the protests are reddits biggest priority. Even if reddit ipo's perfectly and gets a injection of capitol (which might itself be difficult since investors don't seem to care about userbase growth anymore) they are going to need to find ways to increase profits each year (like every other publicly traded tech company).

Advertising revenue is also limited given trend to cut "unnecessary expenses".

Yeh I’m in the same boat. The day the internal memo came out about how everything will blow over, I deleted Apollo. I haven’t been back to reddit since and after the first week, I don’t even miss it now.

I wish lemmy was a bit busier, but outside of that the general atmosphere and quality here is better. Even if everything was reversed and Spez was booted, I won’t return now.

reddit is just a frame. it always was and will always be, despite the efforts of a few dumb cunts.

the content is the people. that's the secret sauce. just provide people with a framework, and they'll fill the empty space. try to monetize that, and you're just a dick.

i have faith in defederisation. my autocorrect says that isn't a word. let's make it a word.
