My reddit average daily traffic dropped 100% 😀
I’m doing my part!
The only good Spez is a broke Spez!
Hello pizza sibling.
OMG, yes. Bravo on the choice of pizza.
Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.
For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
Yes Obviously its working hence why the admins are now so Aggressive in demoding mods and forcing subs open.
spez: 'tis but a scratch!
3rd-party data: your arm’s off!
edit: I will say that I have it on good authority that their upload traffic has increased considerably from someone (I won’t say who) uploading a bunch of 1gb videos of static to random subs using a band new throwaway account from behind a VPN. :)
I am still on a blackout. And I canceled my paid Reddit account.
You can pay for Reddit?
Yes, you can, mainly for going ad-free. And if Reddit had simply given every subscriber a private API key for their account and let the 3rd party apps use user-supplied API keys, Reddit would have probably actually made more money without getting any serious API-related blowback.
Yeah but see, that would require the CEO not being a giant fucking moron. Instead, well, we got what we got. lmao
On one hand I’m glad the blackouts made a noticeable dent and moved reddit (the site) into a response of some sort.
On the other hand, reddit (the site) is not going to back down because they already revealed their hand and they’re motivated by $$$ which is a strong-ass motivator.
On the third hand, the majority of reddit (the users) are back and still using it, which proves that reddit (the site) was correct in staying on their course. Those users now have a negative outlook on both the corporate leadership AND the mods that run the subreddits, yet they still log in, contributing to the wealth of discussion and information stored in that place.
I am whelmed.
I am impressed that my morals are strong enough that I refused to go back, and I haven’t. I know there are others out there like me.
I’m not missing Reddit as much as I thought I would, however I do miss Apollo
