“They’re shooting themselves in the foot,” Mir says. “The content of the users is what makes the platform worth visiting. These hosts kind of run into this confusion that their hosting is the reason people are going there, but it’s really for the other users on the medium.”

I hope Redditors don't cave and cease protesting, clearly it's working if Reddit has to force subs to reopen.

I haven't been on since the 10th and I was on it near constantly before that. If reddit sync isn't going to be around 10 days from now then I have no plans to use the site anything like I used to. I literally have no desire to learn their crappy app and lose the curated experience I had set up for myself. The only redditing I plan for the future is googling for specific questions in niche communities.

That’s kinda what I have been doing. Sadly Reddit has Ana amazing database for tech stuff. Luckily I was able to find most of my info in non-Reddit spaces.
