@Arystique Invest in and preserve Imgur

Apologise to Christian for the slander. And that’s just to start.
No point listing the other requirements since the first one will not be met anyway. The most we will get it “I’m sorry Christian felt that way”.

I agree with most of the other posters, I'm done with reddit. I want the community but I don't want the corporation. It's not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.

Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞

Fuck Reddit.

Work with multiple 3rd party app devs right now to ensure a future for their respective apps.

I would say give the third party apps a chance but after that AMA I can see the creators never really cared. Maybe new management but it would be highly unlikely. When I get treated like crap there is no reason to stick around that negativity!

Apollo to continue going. That’s it.

I think the only way is if Reddit becomes the only active option. I'm a bit too addicted to these anonymous social medias... and it's a nice source to have the internet summarised at your palm.

Public seppuku of all management, starting with spez. The old-fashioned way, without a second. If you know what I mean.

Get back to 2010 reddit (lightweight website for link aggregation) and stop making downvoted comments invisible. So basically it's not happening

The problem with (so called) Reddit protest is their decision won't change. All subreddits should protest UNTIL demands are met. Locking the subreddits on 48h won't do them any harm, but locking for an extended period of time might.

I'll always have some positive feelings for Reddit because I met my husband there, but the whole mentality here is so refreshing. I realize I mainly lurked on Reddit cause you'd get torn apart on subs for being new or not knowing the lingo or making a mistake cause you didn't frequent it every day. Don't think I'm gonna back pedal from the fresh start.

Frankly, right now I'm mostly doing this to spite Reddit. I'll probably use both interchangably later, for the smaller subs that won't suffer much.

If Reddit announced sustainable pricing for the APIs, backpedaled on the NSFW limitations and gave a timeline to make the official app accessible for the visually impaired and apologized to all the people who have been defamed I could consider going back.

I might keep it it in my back pocket for breaking world news like I did with Twitter if I could still use a 3rd party app but I won't be busting down the door.

It's still useful in that it has a massive user base that can get information out quickly.

I left other social medias because of the spam, reddit was a more focused place for me with few updates of important stuff.

Lemmy seems like what I was originally attracted to reddit, specially since I'm interested in more technical stuff I'm sure the subs I usually go to are going to thrive here like this one and also !privacyguides@lemmy.one.

At this point, me run out of alternatives worth trying. Just signed up for a lemmy instance today, and liking what I'm seeing so far (even if communities are quite a lot smaller than I'm used to at the moment), but there are other sites that might scratch the reddit itch that I'll try even if the fediverse stuff doesn't take off. Reddit has shown that that they're a) greedy, and b) incompetent at being greedy. And I'm not going to contribute to them again until I'm well and truly out of other options.

I'll stay till end of month to witness what happens, then I'm out and nothing can change this

Highly unlikely they’d ever be able to rebuild that bridge but it would start with turning back the API decision. Then hiring Christian from Apollo to help them with building a better app. A significant amount of the leadership stepping down and leaving. Mods getting paid. Transitioning to a platform not reliant on ads. Getting Victoria of AMA fame back. Having mods be an elected position.

If all that happened maybe I’d think they turned into something worth coming back to.
