Sure, as it's evident from us interacting here I've been trying to move on the alternatives, though nothing has sprung upto replace niche subreddits that I used to browse.

Ultimately my point was not that what reddit was doing was right. It was that it is easy to take joy in a company that has let greed take over try to fail but in doing so don't forget to have some empathy for countless volunteers who put in time and effort to build something worthwhile. It's their stuff that's being burnt too.

I take no pleasure in what the impact is going to be with numerous communities but I will admit that I'm gleefully rubbing my hands watching the admins make a complete pigs ear of yet another situation.

My comment was more about just how many times will people get shitted on by the admins (Ive commented elsewhere just some of the awful and horrific situations they have caused or failed to act upon) before they realise that the admins are going to repeatedly carry out the same kind of behaviours and it is not the best place for them.

Its long overdue time to gather what they can carry and abandon ship.

I can't imagine what a loss it will be if many of the niche communities die on reddit and aren't reborn on other platforms. Right now it looks like some of my favourite ones are going that way.
