“This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.”

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.
None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."
When the blackouts started, I decided to leave reddit permanency for Lemmy, a decision that I don’t regret. I checked back in briefly today and it seems like reddit is currently tearing itself apart. There’s definitely a lot more people vocally disagreeing with the blackout now.
FTFY.
Of course, there are indeed plenty of real people, along with bots, disagreeing. Their daily Reddit routine has been disrupted, and they don’t like it. Of course, these folks aren’t generally affected (so far) by API changes, so they just want things to go back to what they were. They don’t understand what is coming, given the mod issues, etc.
That’s good to hear! I haven’t looked. Hopefully word gets out about Lemmy and more people join us over here.
How so?
I just saw a lot of threads with people arguing over -2 day blackout didn’t do shit -I don’t care, why should you -Where’s all the content, I want the content back -A blackout was really inconvenient
Yeah… sounds about right.
Thanks
