That’s the thing, right? In trying to force everyone onto a dumpster fire of a main Reddit app, instead, they forced their MOST TECHNICAL and active user base to look at other options.
They even chased off their resources doing things for free, such as a massive bot detection network and large-subreddit moderation.
Everything is snowballing out of control and it’s barely getting started.
I’m waiting for the real protest. When a large collective of moderators decide to form an agreement to protest for compensation all at once. It could happen now that these moderators are seeing their friends being removed from self-created subreddits.
TL;DR: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
Turns out the real protest was the Fedifriends we made along the way
