I’m glad to be totally off of Reddit now but I have to say, props to the mods doing this kind of stuff. It’s pretty hilarious

They're getting no end of grief from bad/paid actors though.

I'm happy that they're keeping it up, but I've already moved on to the point that even if Reddit were to completely go back on the API change, I wouldn't come back. Personally I've already moved the goal post to where Steve Huffman needs to go before I'd consider ever going back. Reddit is dead for all I care.

Good that the protest keeps going. Lemmy AND Squabbles are not a fraction of what Reddit was for all my interests and hobbies. Let's hope more and more people keep learning about the alternatives.

It's so weird to see all the people still fighting on Reddit when I've already moved on

[–] tiny_tina_@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Reddit is a lot less active now. Gotta love it

So long as it hurts Reddit, all the better.

This whole API issue is a lost cause, so the only thing that can be done now is to make Reddit lose big.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep the fight for Reddit is lost. All we can do is make an example of them.

I wish more of the larger subs were still protesting and didn't roll over so easily. But regardless the site has taken a massive hit to its reputation and one can only hope that recovery won't be possible moving forward and it screws them out of their chance to go public.

I know that r/Python is closed, which is big sub. I ended up there after some search.

Any luck with RIF or a similar app for Lemmy? Someone(s) develop that tool and Reddit is toast

So far wefwef has been my favorite. It's a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.
