The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
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.

To be honest I didn't really care about the API thing because I used the web interface anyway. But the fact that they had this outrage from users and their answer was "LOL who cares" made me leave.
I'm very similar. I actually just used the official app, but just seeing the way they responded made me leave
I just got tired of being on a site that won't just ban you for saying Nazis should be punched, they'll ban you for calling them mean names.
I got banned for saying if I saw someone stealing from a store, I'd follow them to their car and cut the valve stems off their tires. Cuz, ya know - vandalizing someone's car is illegal.
I got banned from Jnomil about a post on some little shit kid who like to creep under bathroom stalls and kink on people taking a shit.
I suggested a little shot of piss would be corrective. Banned.
But it's okay for some little shit to invade people's bathroom privacy.
nazi shouldn't be punch?
nazi shouldn't be punch?
I don't think that punch made from nazis would taste very good.
In the light of Twitter shitshow and how one person can ruin a platform it makes sense to look into more decentralized services.
