We have new members because of people fleeing, I’m seeing communities being archived, and just generally more than the regular Reddit being Reddit.

Has the end come in some way?

    Yes I do know about all these situations. I was a moderator for a major sub for nearly a decade until the API fiasco. Of course the more I explain why I would know these things the more you’re going to come after me for “name dropping“ or cringe flexing or whatever. Hell you could probably just say “I don’t believe you” and move on. But I actually knew several Reddit Admins very well, including many who have been fired or left due to the way things have gone.

    Huffman is a bad person and you should not trust him.

      Nothing you list would make you informed about these situations. I modded subs for years so you aren’t taking about hidden knowledge there.

      Knowing admins means what exactly? They aren’t having the conversation about if porn is on the platform or not. They likely aren’t deciding which subs get axed either as that should be handled by an executive not an admin.

      Im not arguing Huffman is a good person only that Reddit wasn’t acting entirely unreasonably in these cases again based on publicly available information regarding why Tumblr axed porn.

        Stop giving Huffman (or his shithole site) the benefit of the doubt. You’re being naive. He has shown us exactly the kind of person he is.

          Says the guy whose POV is “trust me bro I know people who have nothing to do with these decisions”

          I’ll continue thinking you have no idea what you’re talking about compared to the information you can find online about these situations.
