This is a rant post and I apologize but I had to talk about this. Most subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps. Only a handful of subs are going indefinite. I checked the front page for the first time today after leaving the a couple hours before the day of the blackout and what do I see? Subs are up, and comments and upvotes are up to the general average before the blackout.
I checked r/gaming to see their recent post (WHICH HAS OVER 68k UPVOTES), and I see a comment with over 500 upvotes saying in a nutshell, “You guys need to calm down, they’re a company and need to make money”.
Along with a couple other comments saying similar things. Are you fucking serious? You can’t even have the fucking balls to say, “This is a company that has consistently screwed over its users and I need to take a stand and quit my addiction”? You’re just gonna sit and do nothing? Fuck you. You’re no fucking better than u/spez. You’re all a bunch of fucking hypocritical liars for shitting on spez and the admins while talking about how you’re “done” with Reddit and you won’t support this.
Go touch grass you fucking addicted cowards. I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy if it means I don’t have to interact with dumbfucks like you.
I do agree it is frustrating to see that most users on Reddit don’t seem to care or actively are against the blackouts. But for me personally I haven’t been on Reddit all week, it’s done to me now, the people there aren’t people I associate with anymore and maybe never really should have. Basically forget about them, they can stay on Reddit as all these changes happen and if they are happy with them fine good for them, if not then we can all say we told you so. But in the meantime let’s all enjoy our time on the fediverse we don’t have to deal with Reddit bullshit we can move on. -
Okay, so if you literally agree the API pricing is “on the high side”, what’s the issue with people protesting the change…?
