In interviews with multiple publications, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman defended business decisions made by the company.
From the article:
In response to Huffman’s comments, moderators are trying to find ways to make blackouts effective. Alternatively, some communities are also setting up servers on alternative sites like Lemmy and Kbin.
"And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.”
I love how this is suddenly only a problem for them now but has been something they defended for years previously.
