      Now it’s just a question of whether old.reddit will be killed off before the IPO or shortly afterwards. Either way, I doubt it makes it to the summer.

        I hope it doesn’t ruin what we have here

          I welcome the Reddit refugees as a former Reddit user

            A good administrator, some good moderators, and the ability to create more instances, can solve that situation. The third one is easy, the other two

            That’s the nature of entropy in any system, especially one where anyone can freely engage with it. I think it should be recognized that anything good will inevitably change, and by being aware of it, we can take steps to slow down the inevitable descent into chaos.

            If anything, I do think the fediverse itself is a good set-up for preventing the sort of issues that Reddit eventually faced. It’s almost like the internet itself. There’s no centralization, only various participating end-points sharing and receiving data.

      I sincerely hope so, many hobby and interest communities absolutely need more active members to achieve stable activity.
