Maybe Reddit should’ve done that part first?

I mean, what this whole situation has shown us is the fragility that our reliance on that site creates. It would be a real mistake for us to go back at this point, because it means they (or their successors if they manage to actually sell the sinking platform) will eventually pull this stuff again. Trying to build a replacement community is a very difficult thing because of network effects, but this dramatic fracture has given us the opportunity to maybe pull it off.

So I see this as an attempt to create further disruption that prevents one of these alternate sites from solidifying as a true replacement, and little else.
