I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

      The annoying this is that it didn’t need to go down like this!

      • If they had announced fairer pricing it wouldn’t be a problem
      • If they had announced more than 30 days notice it would have been less of a problem
      • If they had announced that you needed Reddit premium to use the API it would have made them more money and not be a problem!
      • If the AMA wasn’t a train wreck and they had at least given some concessions then it wouldn’t have been a problem.

      This entire thing was bungled from conception to announcement to execution, if they had worked with the third party app devs, if they had communicated clearly, if that hadn’t come off as money grabbing, personal data selling ass holes then none of this would have been a problem.

      As it is though, they can just get fucked.

      What did slashdot do wrong? I wasn’t up on the lore, I just thought they decided to be a bit more moderated, which even though I would want to participate in a place that is a little more open to broader content, I can respect the decision.
