I suppose they will slow-boil old.reddit.com until it's dead. Things like gradually adding unwanted changes from the redesign, removing or not supporting features (is there a way to upload images to i.redd.it from it?), or causing random delays or errors. Something like the dark patterns used to force visitors using mobile devices into installing the app.

We need a distributed or federated reddit, and give it power. Lemmy ( https://lemmy.ml/ ) seems to be going into the right path.
