What is Reddit CEO Steve Huffman doing?::Reddit CEO Steve Huffman seems to be preparing the company for an IPO. But is what’s good for the IPO good for the business?
I agree with most of this article except about Discord being Reddit’s main competitor. I think Discord has a distinct enough feel that it’s almost kinda separate from other social media. It’s less so like a platform you make posts on and moreso a big text group with lots of features, which is perfect for some communities but stifling for others.
I don’t really get a lot of what people want to use Discord for. A couple web forums I used (ram by companies, for specific games) closed and they moved to Discord. How is IRC-style chat a replacement for a forum? They’re totally different formats.
It just doesn’t work for anything other than playing games together IMO.
Works well enough as a group chat / voice call app. That’s what it’s for. Before discord you had to pay for good group voice calls.
I don’t understand this community’s obsession with this man. If you’re no longer on his site then why do you care what happens to him or Reddit? Just move on.
People sunk ungodly amounts of time into reddit.
