Why people are fucking around with reddit still, I can’t even…
Do we expect that suddenly they are going to turn into sweethearts? Even if they did, it would be the most disingenuous thing ever, as pretty clearly Reddit and their executive/board are cockroaches.
IMO it’s good to degrade the Reddit experience so that people who are indifferent or haven’t been aware of the protest will have to take note and will be more inclined to explore alternatives.
It’s not about pursuing Reddit to take back the API pricing, at this point people are aware that that’s not gonna happen. Mods also know that if they keep the subreddit private, they’ll soon be removed. I think it’s smart that there is NSFW content in a sub that frequently is shown on r/all. NSFW subs don’t have advertisements, and this will drive away investors.
But yeah, at some point, mods should look for alternatives and just give up IMO. Stop using Reddit altogether.
It’s all about fucking with them. Yeah, they can pull the plug at any time. But the longer it drags out, and the more of their own rules they have to change/break along the way, the worse position they end up in.
Fuck spez, don’t make it easy. Make them play the heavy. Make them do it in a way they can’t pretend is justified.
As long as Apollo works i will go to watch the flames burn but make no mistake i am sticking with lemmy. (Though i might check out kbin because the nicer interface)

I think the main goal for us now is to get as much people to move to Lemmy. And then we can create a community here.
