MODERATORS
The reputation damage has been pretty bad for Reddit in my view. They've handled things really badly and in the process lost a lot of good will and positive sentiment to their brand. They had good will by the bucket load, that Meta and Microsoft would kill for, and have spent a lot of it in return for very little.
All they had to do was a quick 'sorry, we have listened', act like they're addressing some of the concerns and everyone walks away looking good.
Oh it the way it was handled was positively a dumpster fire!
Don't think so ultimately. The truth is most of the users don't care.
