    Reddit’s hypocrisy is mind-boggling!

    After proving in recent weeks that 1) they want anything but free and independent communities, and 2) they want nothing more than complete control over their communities and their data, and 3) they have no interest in being an open platform (where are the 3rd part apps? why force the app when you open Reddit in a browser?), they have the nerve to say all this about freedom and independence?

    Who believes it? Is this a way to win back lost users? Restore damaged trust? It’s obviously not what they say it’s about. Companies don’t give away freedom, Reddit least of all. There’s plenty of evidence for that.

      Reddit:

      Today’s online communities are not like this. They are trapped inside apps and platforms, where they do not have independence or control anything of value… It is time for them to take back ownership and control. It is time for a change.

      Also reddit: reduces control and takes away options for third party apps
