No, no. If you purport to know what redditors supposedly want, you can read the OP and simply go to the listed subreddits and see the top posts for the votes/announcements. edit: I mean let's be real, you've been panning for reddit for two weeks. You're concern trolling asking for links.

I actually checked "interesting as f" subreddit, which I am also long time subscriber, and couldn't locate poll right away.

  I'm interested to hear why you believe a third-party app developer and multiple groups of moderators have all decided to somehow coordinate a scam against Reddit, and also why you believe Reddit is in the right here? Why is that easier to believe/agree with than the majority opinion expressed on HN?

    3p app dev and mods spread narrative which doesn't stand trivial fact checking, and majority believes in what they want to believe without digging into details. > you believe Reddit is in the right here I didn't say anything like that. Reddit is private for profit company, owns platform and content and acts to maximize long term profit.

      Currently they are acting in maximizing alienation of their users and maximizing the chance a viable competitor platform emerges.

        mods decide what appear on subreddits, most anti-reddit narrative was spread as sticky posts on popular subreddits.

  I guess. I'm allowed to disagree. But I do think that asking for "links" for user feedback when hundreds of subs are rebelling is indeed concern trolling. But no, there was no formal poll that took into account response bias and made use of proper stratification and randomization to ensure a fair survey. Some bigger subs did ask "what do we do" and some subs went with the idea of the most upvoted comment, a common tactic in reddit. This was r/pics's "poll": https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q/poll_decide_on_the_future_of_rpics/ https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/14b2a6q/poll_decide_o... It is not scientific, so you can easily dismiss it. But I think that is the wrong angle to look at something that is ultimately trying to say "yes, a lot of people who decided to vote/comment do want this to happen". You can use the casual browser as points for or against them, because they are simply in for the ride if they don't speak up. >Reddit is private for profit company, owns platform and content and acts to maximize long term profit. yes, and I as a (former) user do not care about coporate's goals. I wanted an easy, feature filled UX and have asked for features for almost a decade. Almost none of them came about, so I used extensions and alternative apps that provided them Reddit's reaction was to - take away features provided by extensions to fit into a subscription model. No, I do not think it is worth $5/month to be able to see new comments highlighted. I simply found a new extension when RES removed the features - only add in a few features when literally all hell broke loose (remember why we can filter subreddits on r/all now? What does that teach me? that I need to break the rules and inconvinence users if I want change? Good lesson, actually.) - ignore 90% of other asked for features. Some of which could have helped right now if they did so (Oh, I wonder why NSFW can't diffentiate between violence, gore, sexual content, and foul language?). - And now they repeat this tactic by removing more alternatives while refusing to implement user centric features. No one asked for a video player and it sucks anyway. No one wanted the ignore feature to be removed while the block feature to actively disrupt conversation on the whim of an arbiturary individual. No one at all wanted NFTs for a profile pic (old reddit doesn't even have proile pics). It's rent-seeking, and I do not respect the tactic. Even if I never used 3p apps I'd be against reddit because historically they have never attempted to act in my interest. I am not respected so why should I care about how they make money?
