    I used Relay for years. I’d love to support the dev, but no way I’m paying Reddit anything directly or indirectly. They won’t get my money, my content, or even my eyeballs if I can help it. They’re extorting the users and the devs with this, and I’m not gonna reward them for bad behavior. Time to move on.

      Exactly my thoughts. $3/month would pay for a lot of server power for a Lemmy instance!

      If Reddit charged a reasonable fee for API access and gave at least 6 months notice of the change, and, while we’re at it, didn’t write libel about Christian then we’d be in a very different place right now.

      With Reddit doubling down on their misguided changes, I’m just done.

      Freaking agreed. If they would have started off with reasonableness and respect for the users I would have paid. Note I’d rather pay 10x more to run a Lemmy instance, ha.
