Me: Hello Beautiful Kitty, may I take a picture to show everyone how lovely you are?

The Kitty:

Reddit had become so valuable to me for several topic-specific subreddits that it's hard to leave.

But the Musk-like treatment of the people who helped make the site popular -- amplified by the CEO's deceit and arrogance -- is a reminder that highly centralized conversations are vulnerable.

So I'm disconnecting from Reddit and seeking alternatives, hoping that decentralization will win in the end.

Reddit this week.

What they should do: Step back, ask for forgiveness and announce “free" API access but only for their Premium sub. Would end the strike, increase revenue and still kneecap 3rd party apps.

What they'll probably do: Nothing.

What they may do: Something that’s really stupid.

What I have the popcorn ready for: Mass takeover of subreddits, followed by announcement of a move towards AI based mods.
