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.

Exactly. I no longer visit Reddit since the incident. I know I’m one person but there are others just like me. Fuck Reddit. I mean digg. Or do I mean Reddit? Ceo is a loser.

I am right here, and there are many more. I quit reddit about a week before the blackout. I used to be a power user, I’m talking more than 3 hours a day easily. I made a few post, but most of my engagement was from comments. I quit cold turkey, actively avoiding reddit result from google searches.
Fast forward to today, and I still don’t use it out of spite. I still avoid it if I can but if there are search results from Google that have answers to my specific problem on reddit, I will read the comments with ad-block on and move on to another website if the reddit link did not provide a solution.
I respect your spite and dedication.
The thing is, the website you listed have direct alternatives. Right now with the current format Reddit is the only big player so moving away from it will be very hard. Tumblr user migrated to Twitter, and we haven’t seen the same thing happened to Lemmy at that scale yet.

yeah I still care very much about Tumblr >:(
sure it’s not constantly in the tech news cycle but that also a reason why I love it. you get to enjoy a place with its own subculture and non of the “normie drama” if that makes sense
Musk has killed Twitter/X, Zuckerberg has killed Insta…waiting for it to happen to Facebook.
