      Unless they’re going to come out and say “Belated April Fools! Ha ha!”, I don’t see how this is not going to be a dumpster fire

        Oh, it’s far, far too late for that. Apps and subreddits are already shutting down in advance. It won’t kill Reddit most likely, but the quality is going to go way down in about a month.

        They’re going to IPO. This is the whole reason for Reddit’s existence up to this point. Nothing the users do will possibly stop this; the users are what is up for sale. Of course they are going to be unhappy, they’re about to get exploited. That’s been built in already.

          Conde nasty bought Reddit for 12m back in 2006 iirc, this has been the plan since then I bet.
