These changes seem to be in preparation for Reddit going public later this year, right? They're trying to make their financials look as strong as possible in the short-term even if long-term it fatally injures the website.
It will be interesting to watch! I see a lot of people saying they'll go to alternatives, but what alternatives are there to Reddit? Back to Digg? Voat? Here? I'm not aware of a good replacement.

- stiltzkin 3y agor/redditalternatives Some people fine Lemmy a good decentralized alternative, there is also tildes.net but they are more left inclined. There was a nostr alternative called nvote but the development is stopped, kind of dissapointed.
- DoItToMe81 3y agoThere isn't going to be an alternative. Nobody can shoulder the burden of several tens of millions of Redditors except for another company, who'll be compelled to act in a similar way to preserve the cash cows. What already has been happening is that communities in the crosshairs of administration have set up their own sites that very few people know of, and the rest continue to be farmed for ad revenue.
