@halo5 What I see many comment on Reddit on is that they donโt necessarily have an issue with 3rd party apps going away or the API becoming a paid feature. I can understand that although I am an Apollo user since day one, and to me Reddit is Apollo. The problem is though, none of those are the key issue here anymore. Itโs not about Apollo or APIs any longer, itโs about poor leadership and corporate greed. This is what a big portion of the community there is not getting. Even if they reversed course tomorrow, Iโd still be hard pressed to return or ever give even a cent to Reddit because now I loathe the company behind it.
Seeing all the recent posts here about people finding themselves subbed to places they unsubscribed from, as well as deleted comments coming back is what sold me to not return at all.
I haven't been back except for a few minutes on Wednesday. Most of my subs I was following were still dark. I had unsubbed from all that weren't participating in the protest (unless for good reason) and may go back to see if I was resubbed, but will not stay. Have also been wanting to use shreddit to delete everything, just haven't had the time.
Can confirm that I got resubbed to r/funny after removing it last week. Reddit is definitely tampering with its users now. Can't wait for the GDPR complaint if they decide to restore deleted comments pre-protest.
