Recent API changes, of course. I don’t think they would have affected me directly, since I only ever used Firefox on desktop or Android to browse the site (ublock made for a much more tolerable experience). But in principle, I’m much more on the side of users trying to shitpost in peace than I am on the side of a company experimenting with new and exciting approaches to wealth extraction.
If Reddit goes down, figuratively or literally, users will need somewhere else to go. I’m hoping that jumping ship early and trying to build community elsewhere will help make it easier for others to join in later. Network effect and all that.
