you guys are out here deleting people who are against this stupid protest? Don’t worry I’m gone. Like most of the community you’re letting down with this. DE relied on the massive community for posts and engagement. Disappointed to say the least.

    I think everyone is aware that brand new tech like this can’t compete directly with reddit, a megacorporation with literally thousands of employees and a 10 year headstart, in terms of convenience or stability. There is also the sunk cost of having been on reddit a while and having it already configured, setup and filled with data.

    Personally for me, that is hardly excuse to not try something new and maybe improve the situation a bit in the long term. After all following that logic we’ll be using reddit 50 years into the future as well and nothing will ever change, which just sounds horrifying to me. I also know most people don’t care about this beyond the basic convenience so yeah, the moderators will have to find a balance how much they can push it but it’s only been a week, larger and more important reddit subs are still locked too, and some by public vote too.

    tl;dr Of course it is less convenient, but there are other good reasons to be less dependent on reddit.
