If 3rd party apps account for 5-10% of the userbase then it seems insane they’d alienate that 5-10% rather than just figure something reasonable out with the apps. There aren’t that many and they could accommodate them without impacting their desire AI scraping changes.
I’ve found the interface at kbin the best of the Lenny sites I’ve tried but there’s still things about it that really frustrate me. Things that, admittedly, I liked about Reddit. But if this places becomes some weird “old hands vs newcomers” site then yeah, I’ll go back to Reddit. Which would be sad.
Every OS before iOS/Android was a travesty and only the generosity of time could make anyone think otherwise.
I hope that one lesson reddit takes away from this is that they were idiots for letting a small handful of moderators have such sweeping control of so many subs. Moderators who mod 100+ subs are, and always have been, a cancer on reddit, but at least for once they’ve done something to our benefit.
