I'm not seeing organization by the users in this case to do something like that, though it would be warranted and I'd personally take part in it, given that all the content in Reddit belongs to the users, and the users should have a say

This is it! The point is not just the 3rd party apps. They are just treating us as trash, and want to turn Reddit into something like Twitter or Facebook. Well go ahead, but people will migrate, and for a site that depends totally on the users, that's rough

 

The similarities are amazing, especially considering Reddit was one of the succesors of Digg. They can now enable other successors by making stupid decissions and alienating core users.

I wonder if this speaks to the unsustainability of platforms like these, or the cycle can be broken by making good decissions.

Yeah they don't see the point, wich is the trajectory of the platform.

They are lying to everybody in order to push out of market the 3rd party apps, but that's one side of it, they are also, effectively, forcing you as a user to use a worse app just for them to get more money by doing less.

well, personally, I don't really care if people come here or not. I want that people who want to be here to be here, but not for this to be a massive site where everybody comes because it is "the new reddit".

And I also don't think about everyone leaving Reddit. The new Reddit works for some folks, not for us, so we come here and some other places. I don't want it to die either, it's just not my cup of tea anymore

This is the thing for me too, I just don't want to be in a community where the mods/owners don't care AT ALL about the community and are unwilling to listen. That feels like any other social media to me, and it is not what I was on Reddit for.
