@Sanlear I don't think a comparison of Twitter with Mastodon works:

1. Reddit has always been for-profit, Mastodon is non-profit
2. Corporations release open source software all the time -- probably most of them
3. Reddit was never de-centralized

@atomicpoet Fair points. It wasn’t a great analogy. In some ways Reddit has improved over the years. As you noted earlier they have strong mod tools. They’ve gotten rid of some truly vile subreddits.

But at the end of the day, as a profit oriented company, Redditors are the product. Reddit’s increasing its reliance on ads. And I feel that it will only get worse after the inevitable IPO.
