It also works on all sites, which is why FF is no longer my daily driver.

They're already on Insta, so they're really not giving up anything extra

I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember Digg, but they also alienated their users which caused users to migrate to Reddit.

I deleted my Reddit account right after I noticed Apollo stopped working. Mastodon and Kbin are filling the void nicely and I find I don't miss Reddit at all.

Some subreddits require a certain level of karma to be able to post or reply to comments. I don't know if that was to help against bots or people who would make an account to avoid a ban or something. Other than that karma was just an ego boost for those who cared about such things.

There's definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don't have a problem learning a new paradigm. I'm sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.
