Who? Why should we care about them taking over? Is this seen as positive for the platform?
Reddit (and by extension, Lemmy) likely wouldn't exist without Kevin Rose. He both popularized the concept of user driven link aggregators and royally screwed digg during a big redesign, pushing the users to reddit.
Alexis Ohanian is generally considered a "better" cofounder of reddit (or atleast, not spez). I think the two combining forces to relaunch an OG site is newsworthy.
If it's a positive, will remain to be seen. I won't go back to a closed/non-federated platform, personally.
Thank you! I apricot your clear response.
