    Reddit founders said removing reddit.com was their biggest mistake and it took them years to recover from it.

      Where did they talk about that?

      Did they admit that it was part of a larger abdication of content policy/moderation?

        In thatnstart up talk where they admit they basically betrayed all their founding principles. They talk about their five biggest mistakes and that's one of them but they don't really go into it much because it's part of a larger list. Notably not on the list: allowing jailbait and creepshots to flourish for years.

          they're so good at forgetting about the literal statue they presented to ViolentAcrez

          if you have a link or more information about how to find it I'd be interested in seeing it.

      Did they really? I thought they removed that one because it was the only subreddit that didn't have independent moderators, and being responsible for things is um, bad for business.. or something.

      When did they say it was a mistake?
