The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
LOL, fucking pathetic.
Platforms don’t rise and fall in a single day. Reddit used to be obscure. The fewer people go and make content there and instead just post her, the more Reddit dies through attrition. And as more active users are on Lemmy, the more it grows.
Lemmy has already hit critical mass to sustain itself so from here on out it will only grow. It surpassed the danger zone where engagement wouldn’t be enough to bring people back. On top of that, the best lemmy clients already blow Reddit’s official client out of the water. Now all that needs to happen is for more communities to grow.
I am eagerly anticipating their article on MySpace.
And to learn whether such articles come about via financial incentives or death threats.
