Going through her responses on that post makes me think two things: 1) She doesn't want reddit to hate her but she doesn't care very much about what reddit wants, and 2) reddit has an entitlement problem that often overshadows its legitimate complaints/ideas/suggestions.
I came here because I thought the darkening was a good reason to check out alternatives. I suspect reddit will continue in more or less the same vein for a while yet, and I will keep checking in, but I'm quite happy to make Snapzu my home base now.
This should of been done last week. I can't believe it took this long to make an announcement on Reddit about it. It'll be interesting to see how all of this plays out.
Regarding the being downvoted thing, why wouldn't they make a post in the announcements sub? It seems pretty illogical to speak to the whole community through a single comment section. Even if the post had been downvoted, they could still keep it at the top. I think that's just her excuse.
Have to agree though, finding snapzu was a great consequence of the events.
It was hard to communicate on the site, because my comments were being downvoted.
ROFL! Oh, wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder.
That's the worst excuse I've seen or heard uttered from an adult in many many years. My son can do better than that. Does she not realize that she is the CEO and she can put out whatever statement she wants on the front page? I have seen blog posts that get downvoted down to zero, and yet it's still going to go to the top of the page because it's an admin-controlled sub.
Shes just said this on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/3cbo4m/we_apologize
