I myself am really on the fence about this.
I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.
But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.
Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?
No. It would be different if they just killed third party apps (with appropriate notice) and like, I would be upset, since Apollo is genuinely one of the best pieces of software I’ve ever used, but I would just use old Reddit on my phone like I do with my computer, and it would be fine. But the outright hostility spez has shown for users means I will never post there again, and I’m signed out unless I need to find something on my account. The final straw was spez’s response to the blackouts, which I would summarize as “Once they get over their little temper tantrum, they’ll come crawling back to us.” It was condescending, insulting, and frankly infuriating. He can’t even pay lip service to the most dedicated members of the site, so god knows what he’s saying in private. Why on earth should we spend any time on a site who’s leadership so clearly despises us?
