I’m sorry. I’m here and done with Reddit too, but it’s not a public service. They’re well within their rights to do this and even more anti user stuff, which they will, but that’s not immoral or against the law.
This is why we have laws against Monopoly. All these people thinking there should be laws and rules for how businesses should steward their free user base is pretty wild to me.
Public services are run by the public for the public good (ha – supposed to be) and businesses make money. Reddit isn’t PBS or your local library and would you really even want that?
We just did this with Facebook exodus right? “You mean _we’re _ the product???”
Yeah – You just leave and use better stuff. My point was I get a sense a lot of people want more done (legally?) to force them to do things with the mods or subs or whatever, which I’m not for and don’t even understand what it looks like. I guess my other point was of course this happened it was always going to happen.
Lemmy and the Fediverse is a cool solve to make that maybe not true again (but probably will find someone to still be true)
The problem is when private services invite and lure people in by emulating public places of speech and then start exploiting them. What they did and keep doing is wrong, underhanded and you shouldn’t defend their privilege to exist.

And if I lived somewhere where wild animals kept trying to eat me, I would just leave.

Yeah – You just leave though, not try to eradicate ‘their privilege to exist’
