"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

It looks like a lot of ~~people~~ idiots think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit’s choice

These aren't real people. These are Bots.

You can also find a few real specimens, a quick look through their history will show you the kind of subs they like and the kind of mindset they are in. Unfortunately, as much as I live video games, we suck so bad as a “community”

I love video games. It’s my main hobby and has been ever since I moved Link around in The legend of Zelda. Gamers are fucking idiots. It’s that community that has fully cemented the shittiest monetization possible in any entertainment medium and they DEFEND it. It’s no surprise that those from that circle would also defend reddits shit decisions.

I have some hope left for the community after discovering r/patientgamers. It's encouraging to see that not everyone is buying into the overpriced AAA bug-infested pre-order crap these days.

Patient gamers is the best. One of the few subs I'm honestly gonna miss.

[-] XLRV@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I've seen a patient gamers community somewhere on Lemmy

Can confirm it exists and seems somewhat active. https://lemmy.ml/c/patientgamers
