Serious why don’t the mod team just agree on an alternative like lemmy and move there?
Some of them have
However, “the mod team” is a diverse and fragmented group with many individuals across Reddit
The longer they keep this up the worse it is for the IPO, I’m not complaining
And why would you complain. I was really upset when Apollo kicked the bucket even though this month would have been when I used Apollo for a year :(
But I found lemmy and decided to check it out since mastodon wasn’t really scratching my itch. It was good but not what I was looking for long term. I’m here on Memmy and now Apollo is nicely tucked into bed in my new social media folder next to lemmy and mastodon and I haven’t looked back
“Do as we say or we won’t let you do free work us any more!”
I don’t get why people don’t protest in other ways. You could easily scare reddit financially by sending mail to their advertisers saying “Hi! We’re protesting reddit and their advertisers for Reddit’s changes on API”
I like they just force them to remove the label instead of just changing their own rules about where ads show up.
And the advertisers are gonna be pissed when their products show up next to genitals on a “now SFW” subreddit.
I really don’t get that mentality as an advertiser. Lotta people looking at porn. Lotta potential for your ads to be seen. 🤷🏻♂️
I hope this all does them in.
I anxiously check news headlines each day hoping to see that reddit is canceling their IPO.
I can’t wait until their valuation is sub-$1B down from a $10B peak.
Fuck Steve Huffman.
There’s definitely financial damage and I don’t know how spez still has a job but it would take a long-running war to drive numbers down enough and I don’t see that happening personally. Unfortunate but it is what it is
It doesn’t matter what happens to reddit for me anymore. The best, most anti authoritarian users left for the fediverse. I’ve been getting pretty sick of reddit and this exodus means there’s enough userbase here to replace it for my use case.
