BTW, here's a link to that TechDirt article which proceeds to tear Huffman a new asshole in the most spectacular fashion. Well worth the read.
His point about Reddit being late to the app game is precisely why I deleted all my comments except the one about navigating to Lemmy and deleted my account. I'm not sure if I'd have stuck around over 11 years ago if third parties didn't make Reddit apps. For me, they made Reddit. And now Reddit wants to force me to use their inferior app by running them out of business? Farewell, and thanks to Sync/Dawson for all the years of service to the community.
17 years. SEVENTEEN YEARS I spent on Reddit, through thick and thin. Gamergate, Ellen Pao, AMA collapse, the whole shebang. I never would have gotten through it if it weren't for Alien Blue and Apollo. But this shit? here? and now they're just nuking entire mod teams en masse? I left 19 days ago, and you know what I did? I joined a team developing an iOS app for Lemmy.
Nero can strum his lute and watch as Rome burns. I don't care, for I have better things to do and better places to be. I have found my new home.
I dunno, I quite like watching Rome burn. I've been away from Reddit for awhile, real life is far more entertaining and rewarding. I didn't think it would end with such a bang.
