You’re telling me I can sell the subreddits I abandoned when I left Reddit?!

And if you recommend Discord as an alternative, it’s not the same.

I keep seeing people recommend discord as an alternative but it’s just chat rooms, If it’s an alternative for anything it’s ICQ.

Digg (a link aggregator very much like Reddit) started pulling similar shit and everyone left for the alternative, which was Reddit at the time.
After everybody left Digg, Reddit became the default and after about 15 years they are doing the same things that drove people away from Digg

Removing old.reddit will push more people away than locking down the API did.

Nope, that was last year’s income.

Especially when they start censoring any mention of the API changes or the blackout

So request the subs then continue the protests?

Yep, I got a program that had to be subscribed to for about $30usd a year that allowed me to rip up to entire seasons of shows in 1080p at a time through a logged in account. I accumulated about 3TB of shows and movies then cancelled My subscription to both Netflix and the program I was using.

I kept paying for a little while, until I had ripped everything off their site I wanted to see, then I cancelled lol.

This one still works, but it’s read only and you can’t interact with Reddit posts, only view the images

It sounds like they’re just removing the NSFW tag site-wide instead of using the manpower to manually check each sub to see if it was NSFW before the protests.
What a fucking fumble, using the iron fist approach on the people who supply and moderate literally all of their content for free surely won’t have any repercussions.

I didn’t get banned but my post with a link to a Lemmy community was delisted without being removed within 10 min and the sub mods had no knowledge of it and couldn’t view it to approve it.

The fact that they are even entertaining the idea of going along with the API changes is just flat out disappointing.

Feels like everything will be over soon and it’s going on like before.

This is why scheduling it ahead of time to last for 48 hours was a monumentally stupid idea.
If workers form a union and they go on a strike, and they told the boss they’re striking for 2 days, The boss can just wait it out and get back to whatever they were doing before after the strike.
This is essentially a content creators strike from Reddit, telling the admins that everything will be back to normal in 2 days gives them the opportunity to wait it out without having to cave to any of the demands.
I really enjoyed this community so far and watching it grow immensely over the past 24 hours or so, and it kind of feels depressing that most of the people are just going to leave and go back to Reddit tomorrow.

Trace it to the root of the problem, if the subreddits going dark took the servers down, then what made all the subreddits go dark 🤔

So far it’s not bad. I’m also using Jerboa and it’s ok. There’s a few features from RiF that i would really love to see in an app that aren’t there yet,
-The ability to automatically collapse child comments so you only see top level until you expand the conversation
-The ability to change comment sorting.

-And although it doesn’t relate to the app, I’m really hoping for a Lemmy Enhancement Suite extension in the future.
Overall it’s not bad, It’s a fairly young, community and those things will take some time to develop.

They were pretty clear during their “AMA” that they couldn’t care less about the backlash, even doubling down on the lies about the Apollo dev.
