Yeah, just like in reddit, there’s no need to filter people out of the site… since you can just stick to the communities you prefer.

I mean, it only has this basic web interface on mobile and it’s already much more intuitive than the official reddit app they’re trying to push…
Well they still get view counts / active-user counts. Not being logged in (or not having an account) helps.
Awesome. I see no issue with it… only thing I’d add is that it would probably be morally encouraged, when it comes to subs with creative/non-obvious concepts to 1) allow for the mods who created the original to mod here if they want and 2) stay true to the original idea of the sub. As a homage to the mods and users who fostered the original community.
Well I’m a simpler man, I registered for it before knowing any others existed, so here I am
Yeah I can even understand the pressure/rush to monetize from the admin’s POV. But nothing justifies being dismissive of the mods/community that works for free to allow your business to exist, or the way they tried to accuse Apollo devs.
The actual win is if the Google algorithm starts to deprioritize reddit results due to communities being privated.
Edit: I can even see Google or other big techs pouncing on the opportunity to take the community for themselves, or simply using search deprioritization to drive reddit to the brink and buying it out
