Originally, the protest was planned to be 48 hours. However, after a shambolic AMA held by Reddit’s CEO, it has become clear to us that Reddit doesn’t intend to act in good faith. When the CEO is willing to lie and spread libellous claims about another third-party developer, and then try double down by vilifying them, again, in an AMA, despite being proven as a liar by the developer through audio recordings, that’s when we knew what we were up against. Therefore, the subreddit will be privatised until such time as a reasonable resolution is proposed.
Reddit CEO and his other gangsters don’t even care … it’s nice though that everyone’s protesting on Reddit, I love that! Sad truth is just that they don’t really care, least everyone can do is leave the platform but that’s not going to happen. Also, I truly don’t understand why they don’t move here?
I rather like it here tbh. It has more of that old school forum-y feel to it and while the concept of the fediverse was strange and confusing, just a couple days of wandering around and clicking the things made me a lot more comfortable. I don’t foresee going back to Reddit, personally.
The learning curve is definitely steeper here, which will be a barrier to a lot of the most casual users.
This is the inevitable problem that pushed me to Lemmy. Even if we win this battle over 3rd party apps, we’ll lose the war because Reddit Admins hold all the cards.
