The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Fuck reddit, let it burn.
I got suspended for some harsh comments about literal Nazis, and then got banned for circumventing the suspension by using an alt account.
I stayed there up until the API changes meant I could no longer browse with RIF, even while being unable to comment or vote.
I finally opted to pull the plug when RIF finally died, and just a taste of their official app was enough for me to know it was time to move on.
Fuck spez, fuck nazis, and fuck money grabbing, nazi loving execs.
I’m only on day 2 of properly using Lemmy and it’s already great.
