Today I did it, I deleted my apps. No reflexive opening of reddit

wonder if regular carpet bombing the open subs with a black "Reddit is killing third-party app (and itself)" might be effective? gives the mods an "out" because it's not against TOS - and if it were widespread enough eventually a few of them will hit front page

Just got a big blue headline on old.reddit.com, trying to negotiate their way out of the modtool API debacle

According to reddark, there were more than 7K subs closed this morning, right now there's a bit above 6300, with many opening as we speak. We'll see.

Reddit refugee here, anime/manga nerd and mainly shitposting but I also like to engage in Machine Learning and C++/Python discussions.

I went ahead and posted a goodbye message on my Reddit profile, linking to my Lemmy and Mastodon profiles.

Now we'll see if the Reddit admins have the audacity to ban me for “spam” over a single post on my own profile.

I've checked in on reddit a few time to see the chaos but otherwise I'm staying away, ain't giving them my traffic.

Decoupling from Reddit has been easier than I thought.

Am actually rotating between Lemmy instances and Kbin to read the articles and thoughts in between my workday and it works like a charm.

It also really helps that I pavlovd myself to associate Reddit with garbage and instantly make the connection to how they see and treat their userbase.

It made me open reddit only once during the last days.

Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/

The sun rises, then sets.

Reddit's sunset appears nigh.

Thanks for the laughs.
