    Maybe the Apollo dev will surprise us and make an app for Lemmy. That might help sway users to try Lemmy.

    I am going to be unpopular for saying this, but from reddits point of view it makes complete sense. Content they “have” is not viewable, so users that make it unviewable need to be removed.

    A vast majority of users on reddit just consumes, they don’t post. Maybe comments but not actual posts. So by making those users be able to view everything again, they will keep them on the site.

    We can just hope that content quality goes down which would drive users away, but thats more a longterm thing.

    They are digging themselves in deeper than I expected. At this point, I don’t think I ever want to go back. This is just straight up a middle finger to their communities and contributors.

      I mean, there was never going to be an ending here where they came out and said, “You know, we’ve heard you, and more importantly, our VC investors who’ve given us 1.3 Billion dollars have heard you, and they’ve told us that your community matters more than their exit.”
