I don't think it would be a direct competitor. Photopea is an ad-financed application that runs in the browser. I doubt that it's trying to cater to professionals but rather to average users who wouldn't buy Photoshop anyways. The goal of Abode is to provide a Photoshop alternative that can be purchased without a subscription, which is indeed intended to be used by professionals who don't want to or can't bear the monthly subscription costs anymore. See this part of the article:
> “I noticed how expensive the subscription was and so many designers wrote to me and told me they could no longer afford to use Adobe for their work. I thought I might be able to help so I launched the crowdfunder to make us all a software suite that was truly ours.”
In the end he could possibly make more bank by contributing to Abode's products.
A few subreddits are still private. The mods of the most big ones that participated in the protests either complied and went back to normal business or were removed by the admins. They're currently searching for new mods in lots of subreddits:

Awesome guy! I hope he will succeed with this project. I'm also wondering if that guy who made photopea.com is in his team, because if not he should definitely hit him up.
That's the exact point. It's not only that you can't google shit, even within Discord itself it's incredibly hard to find the relevant information. BTW, did I already say that I fucking hate Discord?
Great comment. It's a hurtful truth and I have no idea how to fix this shit. I'm from Germany and while it's far from being as bad as in the US, we're heading in the same direction.
I fucking hate Discord. It's a walled garden. You need an account to see the content and you can't google shit. It might be great for real time communication, but I can't grasp how its usage has evolved beyond any of that.
Dude, I would have even appreciated if you had simply told me where my title is wrong, because I do indeed prefer to speak and write proper English. Unfortunately you chose to be arrogant and pretentious about it. Maybe you should go back to reddit with that attitude, because most of us prefer a more friendly social intercourse around here.
Netflix, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Google...
The enshittification is going full steam ahead.
