I guess at least he’s being honest? What he has to say is shitty, but I guess it’s better than being lied to.

I wish he was honest to begin with and said “Hey, we’re no longer supporting third party reddit clients. I get you’ll be pissed about that but them’s the beans we have to drive more people to our app for money reasons”

Instead, this whole charade reeks of stupidity and desperation.

Exactly. Rip the bandaid off and be honest instead of trying to gaslight everyone. Probably would’ve resulted in far fewer people checking out Fediverse alternatives.

Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel. Dude is telling us to stop using reddit unless we want to give him a carry, and I’m listening.
