    I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can’t turn over something you don’t have.

      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
