Just re-re-repeating this, lest it get buried:
The question for Reddit communities is, ⚡️“What power do we have to damage the Reddit IPO?”⚡️
That’s it. That’s the game right there. The IPO valuation.
Not “how do we shame them.” Not even “how do we take a bite of their revenue.” Threaten the IPO. That’s the whole impetus behind the API pricing fiasco. Reddit will listen only when they believe they’re in danger of ending up a damaged property.
Aside from the API issues it had serious problems in the past with Admin overreach and like 90% of the most popular subreddits being controlled by a small cabal (some of whom were even corrupt, using their position for monetary gain).
The decentralised nature of the Fediverse is just a superior model (for the actual users, not for monetising the platform).
Yeah, the whole idea of Reddit was just bad.
