I wonder what is to come next because it’s a site so reliant on their community and they have a very loud voice per the design itself. A mod team needs to have passion and time, and befriend their community. They can’t just throw anyone in.

I reluctantly had to delete Apollo and just use Lemmy instead for now. It’s growing quickly and a nice change of pace. My main communities are already there with at least a few hundred users each, some over a thousand. For having been on Reddit for 16 years (since Digg), it was surprisingly easy to let go. It helps that their website sucks so hard on mobile because there is then very little risk of “muscle memory” making you hop back in with no app.




hopefully for Reddit, the IPO valuation is based on the size of the userbase and not the level of engagement or quality moderating that takes place..

Nothing unfortunately. It seems reddit has enough network effects & compliant users/mods that they can do whatever they want and people will tolerate the abuse
