I prefer the smaller crowd here. Reddit just feels like a mall these days. Between all the bullshit, tencent, ads and assholes, Iโm not looking back.

It's not really about the API and third party apps anymore. Arguably never has been. This is really about the IPO, and the clear signal that Reddit has every intention of making your experience worse if that means they can squeeze more $$$ out of you.
No. I'm done. The admins had their chance to address the developers and community concerns respectfully. They instead chose to insult people, make false accusations and demonstrated a complete lack of humility and respect for the community that made their website have any value at all.
Not that I expect them to reverse course on anything, but I won't be coming back under any circumstances.
I would probably stay here. I do like exploring new things and the fact that it is smaller would likely make me lurk less.
Lemmy. I actually kinda prefer this to reddit, content feels much more "local" and since I can't spend hours scrolling through it, it doesn't make me a mindless soul just being fed infornation. Also I already deleted my reddit account lol.
I probably won't permanently boycott them if they revert, but won't leave here either.
