These posts about Reddit’s continuing slide are like the news my elderly mother gives when yet another one of her friends dies: sad, but what you gonna do?
it’s more amusing than sad to watch these out of touch CEOs burn their company to the ground in an attempt to find extra pennies in the couch cushions.
I’ll miss Reddit, but federated social network is the right step forward and I hope we can rebuild what we had
Every conversation my mother and grandmother had for the last 10 years of my grandmother’s life (just change the name):
Grandmother: “Do you remember Sue Smith?”
Mom: “I don’t think so.”
Grandmother: “ Yes you do, Sue Smith.”
Mom: “Sue Smith? Where would I know her from?”
Grandmother: “ She lived two houses down from us over on Suwannee Street.”
Mom: “I don’t remember a Sue Smith from the neighborhood.”
Grandmother: “She was Sue Jones before she got married.”
Mom: “OH Sue Jones! Yeah I remember her!”
Grandmother: “Well she died.”
