This is actually far more self-destructive than Digg.

The Digg Exodus was mainly down to just stupidity on the part of a whole team and the users deciding they weren't going to take it. Rexxit is due to pure malice on the part of one person.

I haven't heard it called Rexxit yet, and I wholeheartedly support the naming convention.

Yep, I don't think it's made it's way to lemmy or kbin yet but I know it's been passed around on mastodon hash tags for the last week or so at least.

I started calling it that on Reddit as soon as the app shutdowns were announced and have been pushing it for broader adoption. I'm sure some other people came up with on their own, too, but I'm happy to see it spreading whatever the source. :)
