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.

    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.
