Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well. (teddit.adminforge.de)

The protests worked, and so did moving/editing/deleting our old content. As one person complains,

I'm not here for Reddit, but for the aggregation of niche communities. I follow a lot of obscure manga that have relatively small followings and recently I got into an IT job which opened a lot of technological exploration for me. The worst part about this change isn't even that we are losing 3rd party apps, but that only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest. Can't tell you how many times now I've looked something up on Reddit and find an answer to the issue I have, only to realize that the community is closed or the post is deleted in protest. Now we are stuck in this limbo where protests seem to have lost their steam, niche communities are being overthrown and killed because of that greedy little pigboy. Seriously, fuck spez.

I like this. To anybody insulting us here we tell them they can stay on Reddit, and we're correct lol

Disobedient? Pray tell who were we supposed to be obeying?

Poor fool exposed themselves as another cog in the Reddit machine with that one.

For real, that part made me do a double take. It's crazy to think some redditors are so far gone that they would frame it that way.

The issue with commenters like this is it is hard to tell who is real and who is an astroturfer.

We recently had a reveal of one. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/92172/Why-Reddit-and-u-spez-must-win and the followup at https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/121064/You-are-winning

This isn't astroturfing this is trolling. They're rage baiting.

[–] abff08f4813c@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

All can be true simultaneously.

Trolling just means putting forth a view that you don't actually believe in, but pretending that you do, to get reactions.

Astroturfing is where one is hired to participate, but explicitly hides the affiliation (which can mislead folks into believing that this is someone's genuine view or a normal troll when it's actually an effort by an organization like a company to unduly influence public opinion).

that is a beautiful example of projection.
