> Frankly I think the community will hate it but because it’s really hard to move millions of individual communities, Reddit likely won’t lose too many users.

Is that really true? Didn't Reddit get big because Digg made some ill-advised changes and its userbase picked up and moved en masse to Reddit?

Reddit is much, much bigger now than Digg ever was; and there’s no viable platform for most to move to. Its communities are decentralized, and moderation is a function of the network, so Reddit as it exists is effectively the only thing holding them together.
