    Not going to happen as long as mods are asking for it but fully showing they aren’t willing to actually leave and are returning subs to normal.

    What incentive is there for Reddit to change anything the way mods demand when they can’t even be bothered to give the threat of leaving by setting up an alternative community off reddit?

    Way this is going if I’m spez I’m confident that mods and users are already giving up and going back to using reddit. They can’t leave.

      The mods have no power or say. They will be run over. It’s not their platform and their contributions are voluntary. Reddit will do whatever it wishes.

        And they sure proved that by folding immediately and showing how desperate they are to remain mods of reddit. Everyone knows they are empty threats.

        It’ll be all forgotten news in a few months. They’ll fall in line.

    Why would third party apps return? Reddit has lost their trust in a manner that I can’t see them recovering.

    Fuck that. Nothing short of Reddit getting rid of its CEO, Open Sourcing their app and canceling their IPO plans would even make me consider using it again. I see a much better future on the Fediverse.

      If their goal was to be profitable that’s what they would of done, but it always was about killing 3rd party apps.

    Charging one cent is one cent of price gouging.
