View submission: Sunsetting Reddit Talk
Could have seen the writing on the wall months ago. Signal left, massive issues with notifications, I'm certain a number of complaints of people who 'didn't want' them, etc.
Which is no fault of the admins or mods - Reddit was trying something new, and like RPAN before it, lost the 'special feeling' of talks.
But like many are pointing out - the 'support' for talks was consistently lacking, and this was obvious after even a few months. By contrast, RPAN seemed to have a lot more support, but it being video-based can explain that disparity.
So, so long Reddit Talks. It *was* good, and my community of Antiwork hosted a talk virtually every single week, right on time, with few hitches. If stuff like that was messing up Reddit's back end somehow, I get it.
Speaking of which, we're doing what seems to be one of our last talks right now, and I should get back to it.
Thanks again to admins/mods like Avocado, 404, RyFi, and of course Signal, who helped make the talks as much of a success as they did.

Hey Ziggo I remember you from the reddit jobs talks :).
I'm really going to miss the talks as it was the only place on the internet that felt like you could have structured chats that weren't a mess of people talking about random stuff. The reddit talks also had more character and I used to look forward to the reddit jobs talk every week.
Where are you going from here, and where is there something similar?
