The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
We lost like 15k active users (of not even 140k) over the last couple weeks alone. I wouldn’t call that steeply grown…
Again, I’m not comoparing Lemmy to Reddit. I myself am on Kbin.
Same. And those are the combined Lemmy & kbin numbers.
Why are you trying so hard to miss my point? Either that or I really suck at communication.
You are. I literally counter argue your point that Reddit “lost”. It’s not mortally wounded either. A tiny portion moved away to something like the various fediverse platforms, a large portion of that already left again and is likely back on Reddit, if they even fully left in the first place. So please stop the mental gymnastics.
It’s not mental gymnastics, but fine. I won’t beleaguer the point. What about the rest of my comment?
