But I thought millions of people depended on the communities involved and that’s why they had to reopen.
Doesn’t banning the community just fully go against their stated reasoning?
Like most things that frustrate me, it seems logic has flown out the window in this situation. At least from Reddit's perspective. I cannot fathom how they could mess this up so badly. Could you imagine if they would have given 12 months notice and piped API access behind Reddit Premium of some sort? They would have raked in the money.
Spez is an authoritarian dictator without a country to rule, so he rules over reddit, because he's a small person and inflicting his rule on others is the only thing that brings him anything that feels like joy
We are under no obligation to pretend that's not a tissue-paper thin disguise for getting the moderators to act how Reddit wants here.
If there's one thing reddit never had, its consistency.
