Twitter learned, and Reddit is fast learning, that people are not addicted to the platform, they’re addicted to the community they found there. Ruin the community, and people will leave the platform. It really is that simple.

Welp, this blew up! No way I’m gonna be able to read/follow all the replies, so I hope you’re all being civil to one another in there. Also, a special shout out to my fellow Olds, who I noticed pointing out (long-)past services that also learned this the hard way.

@Meyerweb I have a feeling that Reddit will survive this protest. Twitter has become a unique dumpster fire of the worst decisions humanly possible. Reddit is just a typical big company being greedy and evil in a "normal" way. That hasn't killed Meta's platforms, so Reddit will likely weather this storm for better or worse.

@Meyerweb It’s a forum with ads. We’ve all been using them since the dawn of the time (1/1/1970). They should/will go the way of MySpace, Digg, AOL, Delphi, Prodigy, Compuserve, BBSes, etc. And some other forum will take its place.

@Meyerweb Has Twitter learned though? If anything, they created an entirely new toxic community that they seem to be quite happy with.
