It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says in an internal memo that the latest protest over API changes “will pass.” He also warned employees about wearing Reddit items in public.

No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

@christianselig that moment when Amazon is more willing to listen to the users than Reddit.

I guess the difference is that Twitch creators can jump ship to YouTube or the like and take a lot of money with them, while the value of Reddit users is alot more abstract.

@rexfeng @kylemsguy Can't Mastodon be the Reddit alternative?

@gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy yeah I wish it was, the layout is more twitter though right, not as nice for content in my opinion. Still looking for the replacement though.

@AlpacaKing @gkdiva @rexfeng @kylemsguy on Reddit you subscribe to topics and see content related to the topic by users. On Twitter you subscribe to people and see variyes content based on the whims of the person. Topic vs personality.
