Talk about it, sure, but we've had multiple threads already about the site's new API policy, and at least one thread about subreddits boycotting. I think OPs point (which I generally agree with) is that we don't really need multiple threads discussing specific subreddits doing the same thing.

It's also pretty much functionally equivalent to this site.

A single subreddit is functionally equivalent to HN. But HN has no provision for communities to form around niche topics. It’s just everyone in the same room talking about the same feed of stories.
