I think what they thought would happen was that reddit would relize they have inadvertantly united users, subreddit mods, and 3rd party developrs (many of which are ironically from subreddits that ordinarily despise each other) into a common cause against reddit…and that reddit would reconsider their actions and find a way not to murder 3rd party apps.
Something controversial happens -> a lot of people get pissed off (understandably so) -> media milks the shit out of the event -> narratives - true, false, embellished, whatever get created -> mischaracterization for anyone who’s approach to handling the situation isn’t in line with majority rule, blah blah blah -> the bad guys (usually) walk away fine.
That’s a very common cycle.
I wasn’t happy with what happened, but it’s been 2 months at this point, and what I’ve gathered is that nothing is going to change.
And yet because I say that these protests are fruitless people get mad and go absolutely nuts on the downvote button.
Sorry, I was under the impression we could have an open discussion without making assumptions in bad faith about people who disagree with the rationale.

They don’t care about any of that though. They knew this was going to happen before they made the announcement.
Do you really think they were that out of touch?
I mean, they have a done a new place at the worse time, so yeah lmao.
God save us from the delusion that whatever happens was secretly the prediction of assholes in power.
Sometimes… people… fuck up.
Sometimes people fuck up real big.
These people got caught lying on tape. Maybe they’re not as smart as you’d like.
You think I want them to be smart? Lol.

My bad 🤚
‘Injustice is fine, actually. I am very smart.’
K bye.
No, it isn’t fine.
And no, I don’t think I’m “very smart”.
