It’s surprising to hear this; given reddit’s current mass-enshittification I don’t expect to see a change that both improves user experience and reduces the money they’re making. Clearly they’ve got something more sinister planned, but awards were a blight on the reddit experience and had I not already left I’d appreciate this change (for now!)
YSK r/Futurology has an official Lemmy instance ( futurology.today )
An announcement post has been made a week ago btw...
