Get ready for the degradation of Reddit to accelerate when this happens. Right now Reddit is almost still usable if you use third-party apps on mobile and Old Reddit Redirect on the desktop; both of those are going to be cut off for a quick jolt to revenue when the market demands it.

Not just the format; if they go public, no more nsfw/politically ambivalent content. Which means pretty much most of reddit doing a tumblr

The "res" extension for FF and Chrome saved it for me.

With what reddit has become, both from a leadership and a userbase standpoint, its fall can't happen soon enough. It is so toxic and manipulated nowadays that I won't mourn for it.

  That is true about large parts, but for me I can easily avoid those. There are truly good communities there that are great resources for various problems (technical and not).

  Isn't it largely user-moderated? Do you believe that model is no longer reasonable for the platform it is trying to be?

    Probably. The evidence speaks for itself. Most of the reddit homepage is a hatefest of [ingroup] screaming hate at [outgroup]. It's so toxic as to beggar belief. Facebook and Twitter seems like prim decorum in comparison.

Apollo app and old.reddit with RES are the classic combo
