Reddit doesn’t actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

    The counter question is: why would that be an improvement?

    For me, the stuff with the 3PAs was just a final straw; there were lots of ways Reddit had gone downhill from when I first joined several years ago. I was happy that they was finally a workable alternative that was young and could potentially grow without the bad things about Reddit.

    My ex wife is an ex for a reason, I’d never ask my wife now to try to be more like my ex. We can do better.

        A number of people made bots to copy stuff over from Reddit, and that didn’t seem to create any more engagement in most cases, so I don’t see that as helping. I made my account here June 12th, so not that long ago, and the amount and variety of content has increased a lot. Too many memes for my tastes, but the place is clearly still growing. I think it’s doing well, considering.
