• They’re probably blacklisting anyone who participated in the protests even if it’s just by commenting. Remember yesterday when Reddit’s servers were choking? I thought it was a site-wide issue as I couldn’t open anything at all, but then I tried visiting the same Reddit links while unlogged and surprise, the site worked. It is as if Reddit is trying to hinder our ability to comment without us noticing it.

      We need to be serious about this move. How can anyone go back to a platform that profits solely from its users but then treat them like fucking crap? Extreeeeeme entitlement. Needs to be culled. If we don’t out our foot down it’ll spread like microtransactions in games did when no one spoke up when it first began.

        The creator of the reddit Sync app has said he’s making a Sync for Lemmy app. It’s sad to see reddit go the way of Digg and Tumbler but so be it.

    I had some comments straight up deleted from reddit alternatives, I had a long blurb about the history of aaron swartz, the ellen pao fiasco and how changing the API structure will fuck them over in the long run.

    Completely gone, I cleared and deleted my account after that shit.

    Can’t say, I left immediately jumped ship the moment Spez doubled down on their API change, before even the blackouts started. Good thing I trusted my instincts this time.
