First they came for /r/pics ... now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits

"your content is ours, we will do with it as we please, kindly fuck yourself"

I seriously cannot believe what a heavy hand reddit is taking. That IPO threat must be hurting A LOT of wallets right now. This is the flailing desperation of a dying animal, imo. Idk if reddit will actually "die" but I can't see any healthy and vibrant community existing after this. I just hope they don't target Lemmy instances with under-handed "subterfuge"

I guarantee they did the math and the site will continue. Sure, a small percentage will leave. But they know from user metrics the vast majority of users will remain. They can find mods who will fall in line.

@veridicus

The site will continue, but the content will never be the same.

I guarantee they don't know how to do that math. There's no way they've factored in the human element. Humans are just too unpredictable
