It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.

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.

      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.
