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.

    They did not, at least not in my world, I left Reddit because of this and will never go back.

      Exactly! I had checked Lemmy half of a year ago when first time found it, and it was empty. Nowadays, I fully switched. I’m not going back to be there.

        Same , I checked lemmy around a year back and did not see it as an alternative, but now I have actually removed reddit from my phone 😅

          The three comments above apply equally to me too! 🙂

          Its weird not having my old RIF button front and center, but ive stopped reflexively tapping that spot on my phone, and haven’t been in over a month. It’s been a ride, Reddit was my home for a long time, but it’s over.

          Fedi is rough by comparison but there’s enough marrow for me and i get to be a part of something when it was brand new this time. I didn’t get into Reddit until 2010 so i missed those early heady days.
