A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Huffman says. “It was never designed to support third-party apps.” According to Huffman, he “let it exist,” and “I should take the blame for that because I was the guy arguing for that for a long time.”

If Statement A and B are both true, is this just not the absolute failure of the former jailbait advocate as CEO? Should Reddit not have been designed to support third-party apps if you, as CEO are advocating for them? This entire interview just feels like the king incel's trying to gaslight us into believing it's a lost cause. If so, we might as well continue, eh?

Their stats page also admits that they've lost >15% of their top 5000 communities. I wonder how that'd translate if we looked at the top 100 or top 50?

Just the sheer fact that they refer to a protest day as a "fun option" tells me all I need to know.
