  • Even if the messages are end to end encrypted I wouldn’t trust a third party with that data (unless it was a company that does it for a living.)

    I’d probably recommend running your own instance, I imagine for that few users it would be pretty cheap. Though maintenance is probably the biggest issue there.

    Or just use a third party Matrix server but send client info over email using GPG keys. That would cost you nothing.









  • I think they did do research and third party app users make up a small enough portion of their user base that losing them is okay to Reddit.

    Keep in mind how popular Reddit is – for the most part the people left will be content with the karma bots reposting memes for the thirtieth time and there’s always going to be somebody racing to be the first to post some news to a related subreddit.

    I doubt it’ll affect their bottom line too much and in a week it’ll be back to business as usual for most subreddits.
