    there are also a lot of subreddits that went readonly. which doesn’t hurt much. when the first google result for something is a functional readonly reddit page, reddit has succeeded. When the first result I click is a message about the issue we’re facing that is much worse for reddit.

    At the same time, the couple of subs posting the images and only the images are causing /r/all to have some anti-reddit commentary.

    Either way, r/all doesnt look that different. Ok, normal-reddit-for-thing isnt on the front page, instead smaller-reddit-for-thing is there.

    I’m sure moderators will plan more, but I think it’s going to be difficult to maintain coordination and whether I like it or not, I get reddits approach to just ignore this.

      It’s functional for the users, but not for Reddit who wants more data/engagement.

      But yeah, the smaller reddit thingy is true. r/thesims4 was open when r/sims4 was not.
