Reddit is requiring manual admin approval to make /r’s private, eliminating the main mechanism for the last sitewide protest agains changes to the API.

The only valid protest is just walk away from Reddit.

After a year away from Reddit, scrolling through the comments there is a dumpster fire. Let it burn.

It's so sad. Reddit still comes up in my search results and I'll check them out if I'm in a pinch. Most of these results are years old. Rarely ever get a result that's within the last 2 years.

They were spinning gold.

They could have improved user experience, made better mod tools and built a fucking native app that competed with third party apps.

But nope.

Line must go up.

Their goal at this point is to monetize old user content.

I had an account for 15 years, moderated a number of subs, and I do not in any way regret leaving.

People are addicted to their beloved spam bots

That awkward moment when your "public square" turns out to be on private land

And free public land is visible just a few yards away, but you'd rather pay the toll because you don't feel like moving, even though your toll is used to fuel unethical endeavors.

What kind of protest worthy change is reddit about to make?

I think he's played by Rowan Atkinson

The people here are a ton better anyways. I just wish some of the more niche communities had more users

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

the "sidewide" protest didnt work before so giving it extra measures is worthless anyway
