At this point I think Elon might know more about management than anyone currently alive on Earth!

For now reddit seems fine (even though I feel a noticable deterioration of multiple communities). Though the important change is that alternatives have established themselves. Lemmy might not be big right now but from now on reddit has to be extra careful not to upset redditors. Every new step they take that worsens the experience will drive a new wave of users away from their site and now more of them will find communities elsewhere that have been established during the first exodus this year.

At the same time I'm unfortunately quite certain that the enshittification of reddit will continue as investors demand higher profits. So we will see more waves of redditors leaving. Such a migration in waves could also be observed with Twitter, after every new step that Elon took to ruin the site.

This doesn't look like a car nor a truck it's a combat vehicle. Seriously, who's impressed by Elon's shooting and steel ball demonstrations? In what kind of failed state do these Tesla customers live? With a tank hull for a frame and sharp edges all around this looks like a serious safety hazard for passengers and especially pedestrians outside the car.

It's always amazing to see study after study confirming totally obvious relationships yet policy makers and corporations still choose to ignore all of it.

I think I could have stomached the API changes and the end for Apollo/RIF. But the AMA and the reaction to the protests made me so incredibly upset and revealed how reddit gives absolutely zero fucks about its users and community. Huffman despises them. With this mindset there's no other way but downhill for reddit.
