Absolutely. It was astounding how it changed once redditgifts was purchased. And they would both absolutely agree. Even weffey stopped being on my side when I had constructive criticism. The culture went from being all about the community to where, I was told, redditgifts upper echelon's responsibility was not to the community or moderators but now solely towards the CEO. That is not a message that any of those people would come up with on their own.

I just opened secretsanta and noticed that the only external mod that was there before me quit sometime after me as well. Well, I did not actually quit, I was demodded and banned after I would not stop bitching about the lack of communication. Dante is still there though!

Dante's posting Instagrams of him and Alexis roadtripping. Fukka will be the last one out the door, no doubt.

In hindsight, a better way to have worded my original comment would have been: It is great to hear that D & J had so much interest in the topic when they were getting into it. Too bad that interest was slowly pushed aside as they were assimilated into the culture.

I would still dispute the word "slowly." Shit was like flipping a switch and you know it.

It started maybe a year before the sale but then Boom. I would guess they started talks about then, some ground rules were relayed and that is when the transition began.
