It is unbelievable that so many people's exchanges of opinions accumulated over the years have been blown away by a single strike like this. It is true that there is a problem with Reddit's operating policy. But it is run by a private company. Actions to monetize sometimes happen. It's not the attitude of a responsible modder to just blow up a subreddit that has thousands, maybe millions of users. Now that the 48-hour strike is over, we're making it a public reddit, at least for users to decide which platform to migrate to or to keep the status quo. And, in my opinion, no matter which platform you choose, a dependency on the platform operating company is unavoidable.
