No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

That trust is not easily regained and I'd expect reddit client devs to quietly start working on Lemmy or Kbin apps on the side no matter what.
