Reddit is falling on its own sword on the stupidest hill.

We need to be serious about this move. How can anyone go back to a platform that profits solely from its users but then treat them like fucking crap? Extreeeeeme entitlement. Needs to be culled. If we don't out our foot down it'll spread like microtransactions in games did when no one spoke up when it first began.

The creator of the reddit Sync app has said he's making a Sync for Lemmy app. It's sad to see reddit go the way of Digg and Tumbler but so be it.

Wait is this true? 😯 I heard the exact opposite, that he said it would be too much work to migrate all APIs to lemmy. Do you have a source? Man, I would love if I get my beloved sync back.

Harder! Faster! Deeper!

I had some comments straight up deleted from reddit alternatives, I had a long blurb about the history of aaron swartz, the ellen pao fiasco and how changing the API structure will fuck them over in the long run.

Completely gone, I cleared and deleted my account after that shit.

Deleted by mods or admins?

[–] abff08f4813c@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Mods can only hide content from others but you will see it.

If it says removed by reddit then an admin did it

They're getting real petty with it, aren't they? Can't wait to see their IPO fail miserably.

Already razed my account, so it's starting to really get wild now

Clean put all your stuff and move on man, that ship is sinking like the fucking Lusitania

Can't say, I left immediately jumped ship the moment Spez doubled down on their API change, before even the blackouts started. Good thing I trusted my instincts this time.
