I really loved their sub. What are the best AMA communities over here?

Short term thinking: apps cost us a lot of money per year, let’s claw some of that cost back.

Long term thinking: hiring enough people to moderate all of the popular subs that will now have no moderators will cost us tens of millions of dollars over future years just in salaries, not to mention more IT ops, HR and the other stuff that comes with growing a headcount.

It’s going to be really sad to see Reddit collapse under its own stupidity :(

Personally, I’m happy it’s dying cuz I wouldn’t have found the fediverse otherwise; this thing is amazing.

Ya know, I was thinking about it, and the only really good content in AMA was when things went horribly wrong. The AMAs that went smoothly were actually kinda meh. So that being said, this might actually be a net win for Reddit in the short term. Everyone loves to watch a trainwreck… ain’t that right, Spez?

Back when Victoria was running the show, there were so many great AMAs. So many amazing scientists would do them, and as a chemist it was great seeing so many high profile scientists there. That all went away
