  Oh yeah like the API hissy fits that shown just how weak reddit protests really are.

    The reddit api protest was actually effective if people actually reacted properly. Shutting down the subreddit made reddit go a step to far and force them open. That should have destroyed the community trust in reddit and caused a mass migration. But alas apathy

      Didn’t a lot of mods just open up again after by choice too? If more of them took a firm stance then perhaps reddit wouldn’t have been able to replace them all so easily.

      I don’t know if there will ever be a better opportunity to have a large anti-reddit movement though, wouldn’t be surprised if they have worked to prevent it since then.

        Yes but having reddit step in shows how much it hurt

    It will convince some, but probably not enough to make a difference. Sony is betting that the increased revenue per customer will greatly offset those choosing to leave their platform.

    Hey now, I’ve been here for 3 years and my reddit accounts haven’t seen a login since. If everyone else went back that’d on them.
