Never ceases to amaze me how people can’t seem to understand that disliking one or two aspects of something doesn’t mean hating the whole thing. You can hate the API changes and what they imply without hating the rest of the site. You can want something better for a community you’ve been a part of for, for some of them (myself included), over a decade.
There is a point where you just have to let go… but you don’t have to do it the nanosecond you see something you dislike. If everyone did that we would all live in complete isolation from each other.
If I let it go the second I disliked the platform I would have left in 2016. This was the culmination of years of blatant disregard for their users. It didn’t start with the protests, they were just the final straw for a lot of us.
And it wasn’t for a lot more. Looking down at people who didn’t make the same decision you did is either childish… or misplaced anger that should be focused on the people making that platform something you no longer cared for.
