    “There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” the memo reads. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.”

          I’m going to stay on beehaw where at least they require an application to join. We need smaller and more spread out communities anyway to avoid astroturfing.

          Success means not having too many people make it to Lemmy rather than all of Reddit migrating over
