That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
Facebook may not have failed, but it’s a shell of the platform that it was. Twitter is on the way to that status, Tumblr did it to their users and it’s happened time after time. The little bit I’ve browsed the front page of reddit in the last little bit there’s been a noticeable drop in post and comment quality.
I know there’s a few reddit archive projects, and it may be worth looking into a project that could scrape the html and present the info without it being Reddit.
