Read all about it at the above link. There’s way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.

    Lmao

    Today’s online communities are not like this. They are trapped inside apps and platforms, where they do not have independence

    Trapped in apps like the official Reddit app? Because they ruined 3rd party apps? What are they sniffing over there, the trapping of communities is their own doing.

    I’m done with reddit, so either way I don’t really care. Tbh I don’t think this will necessarily be a dumpster fire. It might even be interesting, depending on the specifics of this implementation. It’s probably fueled by higher ups hearing hype words like blockchain. My expectation is that things will mostly just continue as normal, but now the management and CEO’s etc can masturbate to the idea of having a blockchain application.

      In order for contributors to claim the Points they have earned, they need to create a Vault within the Reddit mobile app.

        “And we just killed all the other apps last month because… Uh, because we don’t want you trapped inside apps. Yes, that’s it. So use our worse app, which only accesses what was previously our mobile website, to avoid being trapped inside of apps. Yes! Very double plus good!”
