Honestly, any user or mod that sticks around Reddit after this entire thing…I just don’t get. How can you be so disregarded, have your opinion so thoroughly dismissed, and then just keep creating content and driving traffic to the company? Fuck capitalism, but fuck reddit in this particular instance.
I understand users, they just want the forum and don’t care about the politics.
Mods on the other hand… it’s a busy job that you are already doing for free. If the platform is turning against you what incentive is there to work for them?
I didn’t even care about the original API issue that much but when spez started talking shit and heavy handing mods it left such a bad taste that I’m here on Lemmy now.
There are a couple small subreddits I’m part of that are lifelines, close communities for people who need a space to share information & be themselves. I’ve checked in on them once during the past month & they’re still holding together. The mods are staying because those small groups of users need them & don’t have another place to go. I expect once the Fediverse spawns more highly specialized niche communities, they’ll drift over.

Why would they want to do something for free for a company that shows them no appreciation? This is the right move.
