I’m not giving up. 11 year account deleted. I might read stuff on Reddit from time to time, but it will be without an account, in a private tab, through a vpn, with an ad blocker on.

I’ll miss some of the communities I was in. I will not miss Reddit. It’s been going downhill for years.

We may be few, but I’m proud to count myself among those who quit Reddit because of this. (Not that I wasn’t looking for a good reason for a long time).

i want to call complete BS on them making it out like the Redditors protesting would physically assault the staff. Guess that’s probably a reasonable thing now though. People are whacked in the head.

*yet.

Ditto. I saw that, I deleted all my posts/comments and then my 11+ year old account.

They rely on the free labor of the community mods. They can’t handle that workload. They’d have to replace those mods with other free mods without the years of experience, or mods with experience that will suck up to Reddit to keep their unpaid job.

Either way, I predict it will end in fireworks.

This community is the one that caused me to figure out how to subscribe to a community on Lemmy. Daddit was the only community I’ll truly miss when I deleted my Reddit account. Glad someone is trying to recreate it here.

Freenode went down the crapper? Dang. I used to use them a lot back when I didn’t know anything about Linux

Reverse the api changes, convince Selig to keep Apollo going, fire spez. Than MAYBE.

One of us! One of us!

Dang. You are just full of good news. That’s my VPN too!

I don’t like Apple because of their anti-user, anti-third party policies, but their quality, interoperability, and privacy make me pick it over google for my phone, tablet, and watch.

Granted, it I could replace those things with FOSS alternatives that worked as well as Apple products do, I would in a heart beat.

Yeah, I just encountered my first “average redditor” on here, but it was just one account among many great ones, so it’s still good for now, but the trolls will come.

…and they said Vista was better than XP.. Win 8 was better than 7.. Win 11 is better than Win 10. I’m not sure Microsoft is the best at compare/contrast.

That was easy for me. Apollo was Reddit for me. I deleted my account, removed that app, and now the barrier to entry of reaching Reddit would be going to the mobile site, so… I’d rather have all my teeth pulled with a rusty pair of pliers. Addition cured.

Unfortunately our entire economic system relies on that.

I hope so.

Granted I don’t think I did it right since I either only see my comment or only see everyone else’s.

I think the LLM wave hit, they saw dollar signs, and they made a change without thinking it through, but then they were backed into a corner between money and avoiding outrage, but greed won over.
