Sup guys, veteran Reddit user here. I deleted my account on the day of the blackout and I am not going back unless they change the API guidelines.
So far this place seems pretty awesome I gotta say. I love the federated concept now that I understand it. Really cool stuff!
Obligatory FUCK u/spez
Even if they reverse their API guidelines, why go back and subject yourself to their unilateral control? It’s only a matter of time before the platform gets worse again.
That’s a good point actually. Something to think about.
Spez has made it clear he doesn’t give a shit about Reddit users and will always prioritize finances.
I like it here. It’s actually much more my thing personally.
Yeah same, I really like how it’s not an actual company so there’s no big bad admins to rule over all the “subreddits”. Plus everyone here seems so much more chill.
I know a lot of people struggle with understanding the concept of Mastodon and Lemmy, as did I. But when you understand it it’s actually really cool.
Fuck u/spez

Well yeah that’s what I mean. I don’t think anybody would care about the API pricing if they just made it reasonable instead of making it blatantly obvious they want to kill off 3PA’s.
