Don’t underestimate the power of disgruntled users. There is no place right now that can handle Reddit - all the alternatives that aren’t monolithic corporations can’t handle the traffic. Kbin included. So the best anybody can do right now is be on the lookout. This isn’t like it was when people left Digg for Reddit almost two decades ago. It takes quite a bit of resources to manage a large migration - it will be in small steps, but rest assured… Reddit’s mods and their communities now are forever changed…

As a mod of some reddits that will go back online, we’re now going to be actively promoting alternative sites to also post content on and congregate - we have to do it piecemeal because of the technical requirements. We’ll also be expanding the topic of our subs to include any news that’s critical of reddit proper and these issues, so we won’t let things die.

I’d like an invite. I have a podcast (ioradio.org) and we’re planning to do a show on comparing Reddit alternatives. e-mail [email protected]

Google: Ok, yea we are evil. You got us. But now we’re “Alphabet” so pretend something’s changed.

This is the nature of Reddit. There’s potential conflict from any mod who has seniority over you, as well as the top level admins. When we hear stories of this, we need to be able to definitively qualify whether it was just a higher level mod, or actually a Reddit admin. Two entirely different things.

Magazine names should not be case-sensitive, but they are.
