They're getting away with this because there really is no serious competitor for reddit.
When people actually start migrating away from reddit and post/comment volume is significantly down, you'll see reddit suddenly be a lot more willing to engage with the community.
- pkju62dqmx 3y agoYou’re right due to the network effects Reddit currently enjoys. Personally, I’ve quite enjoyed using tildes.net lately. I know everyone is jumping on Lemmy and federation, which is great in practice but Tildes feels more accessible to me and for that reason may have more potential to actually capture a user base.
- imchillyb 3y agoI'd love an invite. If you have one available, please consider throwing me a tildes.net invite. Thanks m8.
- DougEiffel 3y agoIf they send one to you, would you consider sending one to me?
- satiric 3y agoI'll join in on the train. Would you mind sending on to me if you get one?
- adhvaryu 3y agoChoo choo
- vintagedave 3y agoI checked out the site, and it looks great. May I join the invite request train too please? My email is my username at gmail. Many thanks :)
- hughgrunt 3y agoSame here if possible. I’ve checked out both Lemmy and tildes over the last week and I’ve quite enjoyed the discussion quality on tildes that bit more.

- neevans 3y agobruh they run on donations which means similar thing like reddit will happen again when they have to scale up.
- actionablefiber 3y agoOne possible outcome is that the pie shrinks. If Reddit hurts the user experience and drives away creators and mods, some people will leave with no alternative and simply spend less time on the Internet. In my case, I've replaced my Reddit time ~50% with HN and ~50% with... something else, like doing work.
