Reddit r/all page right now - posting a screenshot here so you don’t have to open it

Insanity. I’ve been around a few times when people were talking about migrating but this truly does seem like the most real possibility yet. And I welcome it with open arms.

What if they're doing this, letting us all get riled up, and then after the black out they go "ok ok, we get it. We'll reduce the cost down to insert still high but irritatingly doable number" and that was the plan all along. That they started outrageously high so they can land where they actually expected to be. A bunch of users go back grumbling but feeling like they still won, yet we got 4d cheesed.
Or I'm just high.
- If this was meant to be a good PR thing for Reddit, they wouldn't have done that terrible AMA. I really do thing Reddit is dead set on their plans right now.
- Too late for me, already deleted 99.9% of my content. My account will follow after the strike. I want to advertise some mags (do we say that? I say that) that ought to replace the subs i liked. Then i'm gone.
  Fuck them. Even if the 3rd party app debacle settles, there is still so much shit going on that I wanted to leave for a few months anyways:
  They've been trying to forcibly transform reddit to be the bazillionth social media website for years now. Avatars, being able to follow accounts, I don't need that shit. I want a content-centric website with a discussion culture, not Instagram X.0 where the depth of a comment rarely goes beyond "yeah, that's cool". It's only a matter of time until you can't downvote anymore and they will implement some form of swiping or some other unnecessary shit function.
  Their app is shit. Their new website design is shit (and will be forced on users soon 100%).
  The whole NFT-avatar-embarrassment is a whole chapter on it's own. They still try to sell that bs to people, even after all of them lost 90%+ of it's value. The fact that this company runs a pyramid scheme as a side hustle should be reason enough to leave.
  Then there is the censorship. I don't mind censoring nazis and alike, they can go to hell. But the monkey business going on with the subs that try to help with the migration to other platforms is the epitome of stupid. As if these people never heard of the Streisand effect. These people think we are idiots, and they let us know at every opportunity.
- That won’t happen. The high API prices are there to fleece the AI bros desperate for training data for their new models.
  What might happen is that they might offer some limited concessions to some devs under some conditions for some period of time in the hope that this gets misreported as “Reddit says okay to devs” and the fuss dies down despite nothing having changed in the long run.
- Idk, seems out of character for spez and CEOs in general. I really think they're just that clueless. They think they have a website. What they actually have is a community. And now it's an angry one.
  I just hope enough of us are angry this sticks
- As far as I understand, the thrid party app developers stood in solidarity and they are scrapping the apps no matter what at this point.
  The protest is more of a way to show reddit administration that they need to be community centric rather than profit motivated because the community can mess their shit up if when they need to.
  I don't know what it will do, really. I'm just glad I got out and found this place. I hope more like minded people find it and move too.
The real reddit was the memes we made along the way.

I have come from Reddit because the concept of the Fediverse seems to me a better concept, now it just needs to acquire critical mass. Not at all I miss Reddit, all my homies hate Spez xD

I'm stunned by the huge number of people still using the app but... ironically upvoting subs going dark

Remember Digg? I remember Digg.

Of course with all the media coverage, the traffic will go up. I have removed the site from my favorites and Sync from my phone's homescreen so I don't accidentally click on it, muscle memory.

Haha, I did exactly the same thing: removed rif from my homescreen so I wouldn't accidentally tap on it!
I replaced my RiF shortcut on my homescreen with Dropbox and I keep reflexively tapping on it. I got to work on that habit.

Are we supposed to see an image? I have the google scripts blocked and I don't want to send a request to google just for the test. I hope Kbin doesn't plan to rely on google.

Another option is to upload images to pixelfed and copy the link here.
- Would be so great if we could just rely on microservices from the fediverse.

Let’s hope they don’t come back after two days… a small, predictable protest like that never works. It has to catch them off guard.
