Reddit is requiring manual admin approval to make /r’s private, eliminating the main mechanism for the last sitewide protest agains changes to the API.
That’s frequency illusion and not actually anyone listening to what they talk.
It might be, but you’ve managed to focus on the single thing in my comment that was just a side note, and tongue-in-cheek as well. You literally ignored my whole point.
Let’s be explicit: The point is you can’t make the company go into a direction the leadership doesn’t want. “Protests” might have a short term effect, at best. that huge protest on Reddit when they changed API terms and more? Barely anyone actually left the platform. Not regular users, but mods did, making the platform technically worse, but the users clearly don’t notice. Or don’t care enough to leave.
You can’t make a company that size do anything, not as an individual, not as a group. Maybe as a share holder, obviously. I hope you got some millions to spare.
You said “we all should care”. What for? What does that do? “Caring” is the activists version of “thoughts and prayers”. It’s saying something, or thinking about something, but has no effect in the real world.
I mean we should care about the people, so help them either move off that platform or change the platform itself. Sorry for ignoring your actual reply.
