The Reddit protest should have been an indefinite protest from the beginning. (arstechnica.com)

We have not seen any significant impact so far and we will continue to monitor.

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.

As many thought would happen, they don't really care about what's happening. I don't know why there is an end date to a protest that will kill so many 3rd party apps and affect the free work that moderators do.

Sorry if this is the wrong uhh.. Instance? Community? (I'm still kind of new to Lemmy so I'm trying to understand) to post this but I didn't know where else to post.

Reddit hasn't been the same since they fired that lady who did the AMAs. That was the start of the decline. Then they went and hired that psycho lady who they had to shit can. Then Tencent bought a 30% stake. One of the tech acquisition arms of the CPP. There's really only one way it could have went.

I completely forgot about the Tencent stake! Wasn't Reddit banned in China though?

I wish everything went back to normal (that includes the old Reddit design/website). And it's kind of unfair that a website that lives thanks to their user's content is the one earning the money and their users are getting stabbed in the back like this.

If anything, the API money should be going to creators/mods imo.
