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.

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. The article describes it as “the official end of the battle,” which seems an overstatement to me, but it’s the certainly the end of the initial phase.

Did Reddit win? Time will tell!

    The thing that made me use reddit less and less is old format version of lemmy.world. I tried looking for separate instance when world is getting DDoS’d, but the very familiar format made me always go back to it.

    Using memmmy is brilliant though. It’s probably just wishful thinking, but I hope that other sites have the old reddit format version for ease of transition. Until then, I’m here in old.lemmy.world
