I'm rooting for them simply because I want to see Reddit and them fight. I'm not going to be switching, because I'm basically done with centralized ultracapitalist bullshit for personal use.
Its being recorded by Reddit cofounder Alexis ohanian. I don’t think they’ll fight lol
He has nothing to lose by competing. He owns a stake in Reddit, and he's rebooting a competitor. He wins either way, and striking out on his own has a better chance of making him more money than relying on his stake.
If he fails and Reddit "wins," he still has his stake to fall back upon.
100% this. Why would I go back to another centralized corpo line must go up service that will inevitably enshittify when we got lemmy right here?
I could like Digg if it was federated. But I bet it won't.
Yeah the chasing profit is what ultimately dooms public forums.
Preach!
