There are moments in online communities. Technology changes, policy changes, terminations etc. that represent the marked decline. Eternal September with Usenet, v4 with Digg, the recent departures from 4chan, and now I fear this; they signal the beginning of a decline in visitors and revenue. Reddit must do what it can to cultivate a vibrant and happy community that doesn't jump down each other's throats. Or else they'll end up running out of mindshare, reach, and money. This should have happened sooner.
