Reddit will go the same way as Digg. The site will remain, but the lurkers will start to migrate once it becomes apparent that the 1% of us that create content have mostly left. Down the line in a few years, we'll all be laughing at the pissbaby formerly known as Steve Huffman and say "Anyone remember THAT clusterfuck? Oh man, he really thought he had it made, talk about fucking yourself over!"

RIF made Reddit bearable to surf on a phone, without it, there's just no point. RIP RIF, you were a fucking amazing app for the tiny investment it cost everyone!

I think it's what we need to further push the envelope further. We're not using the full capability of our hardware that we have today by even a longshot. There's too much fucking overhead everywhere. And I say that as an artist who fucking LOATHES the shitty rendered music paradigm over the modular approach that we used to have. We see it everywhere though, wastefulness in RAM usage, no damn compression in anything natively, no thought on what data structures would result in the lowest footprint on the harddrive, no actual concern for using higher level langugaes over lower ones.

I guess they're following the pissbaby toddler train culture that's been growing in the techbro community as of late. The whole attitude of "We know better than our users, we're going to aggressively monetize the shit out of it and nobody is going to care."

Guess RedHat is going to learn the same thing that so many others have learned before them: Don't piss off your users.

They've got astroturfers in every thread on the big subs that are basically FUDing the shit out of everything that isn't Reddit. Oh Lemmy too hard, oh Lemmy too complicated, Oh Lemmy require email on signup. They have so many shills now that they had to actually start handing out six month old accounts. It's hilarious to see.

Yep, rif dev was rumored to be working on it. It's a race to the finish now to see which app dev gets it first.
