That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

Digg had critical mass. It went down in flames.

It doesn't take bajillions of users to generate enough content to form a reasonable alternative.

Niche subreddits will be hard to recreate though unfortunately, but plenty of time to grow. And long-term, federated seems like a good model so that once these communities are rebuilt they aren't at the mercy a company who's main concern is short-term profits.

Federation makes so much sense for reddit style communities. I hope it's able to catch on
