This is great, many more subreddits should do something like this. But in the end, it’s us, the end users, who should do the actual protesting since it’s us who have the power to change things. I’ve decided not to give them any kind of traffic from now on. Me, by myself, won’t make much impact but if more of us did the same they’d be force to change their strategy.

I think with a little more time it can be to lemmy what Apollo was to Reddit. It’s got a great foundation. Sometimes is still challenging to do certain tasks but to me it’s working in iOS smoother than the web
The blackout must be accompanied from a viable alternative easily presented. I just learned about lemmy and I’m trying to see if I can have a place here. I don’t plan on leaving Reddit forever but you never know, and this api fiasco has at least shown me alternatives I never knew existed.
I’m happier since I don’t use twitter. Thanks Elon, you’re making things easier for us.
