Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care. (kbin.social)

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

I think a lot of mods probably use RES on desktop, which will still be functional after this. But yeah, statistics say that 3PA are only used by about 5-10% of users

Agreed. they also know RES only works as long as old.reddit.com works, and once that's done, desktop is shit.

RES said they weren't sure how it would be effected by the API changes. It could be fine, it could break some stuff.

They also aren't really developing it anymore. The maintenance team is down to two people on their spare time. They aren't going to fix what Reddit breaks at this point.
