I think this point is really important, and allow me to go one step further: I work in the public sector of education and purchasing technology is such a complex issue that IT governance has to be involved with decisions like this. That’s to say that, without a governing body to review purchases (outside of whoever handles the actual procurement, i.e. funds leaving the bank account), mistakes like this will happen.

We can be upset with planned obsolescence, but there’s distinctly a human error here where there wasn’t enough research and planning.

This is funny when you consider that “see” in this case is very loosely interpreted. murder

It truly was a dumpster fire. A part of me did wish he would backtrack but he just doubled down.

It’s telling that they’re not even willing to work with the third-party Reddit apps. They could be true money makers for Reddit, or at the least, a way to minimize Reddit’s losses.

Also, doubling down and deciding that the subreddits that will be going dark in protest mean nothing. He’s said as much in the past that the moderators are expendable, though, so it would not be a surprise if Reddit administration or spez personally decides to usurp those mod teams.
