Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.
For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
It’s wild how much damage reddit has done to their image in a short few months
I am still on a blackout. And I canceled my paid Reddit account.
You can pay for Reddit?
Yes, you can, mainly for going ad-free. And if Reddit had simply given every subscriber a private API key for their account and let the 3rd party apps use user-supplied API keys, Reddit would have probably actually made more money without getting any serious API-related blowback.
On one hand I’m glad the blackouts made a noticeable dent and moved reddit (the site) into a response of some sort.
On the other hand, reddit (the site) is not going to back down because they already revealed their hand and they’re motivated by $$$ which is a strong-ass motivator.
On the third hand, the majority of reddit (the users) are back and still using it, which proves that reddit (the site) was correct in staying on their course. Those users now have a negative outlook on both the corporate leadership AND the mods that run the subreddits, yet they still log in, contributing to the wealth of discussion and information stored in that place.
I am whelmed.
Not everyone is back. See I’m here.
