The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Nah, I won. We won. We found better platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, and KBin.
I’m not going back to reddit, there’s simply no need.
Sadly, I still have to go back to Reddit since it’s the only way to get information for certain niche communities
Why haven’t you created those communities here and go post over there that they exist outside Reddit?
Been thinking of doing that, but haven’t because:
I don’t think I’m active enough to create a community nor do I know how to manage it properly and allow it to grow. And,
Usually I only go on Reddit for information I need right away or as soon as possible. So, Reddit is still more convenient than creating a new community for that topic.
But who knows. Maybe one day I’ll get around to making community.
Probably not a big deal, as long as you don’t log in
The whole API fiasco caused me to delete my Reddit account, after being in the site since 2013 :)
Exactly. Reddit can suck it.
I haven’t really been back since my 3rd party of app shutdown. It wasn’t some big moral protest on my part. I just have no easy access to a good app for it now.
Haven’t been back since sync left. Now that I just got sync beta for lemmy, I’m happy again.
