That would imply they are acting in good faith to protect their users. There must be another explanation because that one doesn't sound likely. 😆
If I'm not mistaken, Reddit plans to develop a new chat system, sort of. I remember back when I still use reddit in new reddit, there was a new chat with all my old chats put in some sort of legacy chat categories.
Maybe that legacy chat is what they're planning to nuke? Even then I think it's stupid. I can't even see the difference between the new and old chat.
they've been working on it for ages and funnily enough its based off the matrix.org protocol :P so not really making it fully from scratch, well it seems they've made their own software for it
It does when your employees are also some of the end users.
