From the article:

In response to Huffman’s comments, moderators are trying to find ways to make blackouts effective. Alternatively, some communities are also setting up servers on alternative sites like Lemmy and Kbin.

Yeah, honestly he seems to have some personal beef with third party apps, like he's personally offended and hurt they're profitable when the main app isn't. I think that all of this has just served to demonstrate two things clearly: CEOs, though incredibly out of touch are still human, and you don't need to be above average intelligence in order to be rich.

Yeah I completely agree. They are just making the platform worse and less profitable for everyone.

They should have just taken a percentage of profits from the apps to allow them api access.

If they were worried about llm they could have restricted api access.

It’s clear they just want to mine and sell your data by you having their app.

There is no way I’ll have their app on my Phone.
