EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

PART 1

PART 2

ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)

“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

    The most mindboggling thing about all of this to me is if Reddit had just improved their own app to be up to par with the multitude of 3rd party apps out there, none of this would have been an issue. They could’ve migrated everyone over to the official app easily with just a better experience. If a single person can wrangle an app together that outperforms the official one in a month, Reddit has no excuses. Personally, I’m delighted all of this has happened, as it’s allowed for multiple viable alternatives to be populated. Which I’ve been wanting for a very very long time.

      It really could have been a symbiotic relationship with the third party app devs. But Reddit went all psycho and seems to have taken the API push back personally.

        I’m wondering when actual snoos will start to quit working for reddit. I wouldn’t want to work for this company.

        I also saw a job role advertised recently but thought, nah, I don’t want to work for spez.

      Making a better user experience is fundamentally incompatible with Reddit’s goal, which is to forcibly milk users for ad impressions. A first-party app better then the third-party ones was never going to happen.
