I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.
Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?
I would have IF it had been the solution Reddit had came up with in the first place AND they hadn’t destroyed my trust in them with their handling of the protests.
I have an issue with your proposed solution though: it does not address the use case of moderation / accessibility / utility tools and bots.
Maybe before spez dug his heels in the ground. But now he’s said too much. He admires Elon? Fuck off.
No. Even if they decided to do something to placate us today, they’ve shown their hand and demonstrated they don’t give a shit about their userbase. I have no plans of going back. Period.
Some time ago most likely yes. As for now I would never go back to reddit.
No, I’m done. My accounts are gone. Not interested in starting over
Lol no, fuck Reddit. Enough is enough. There’s no salvaging that.
I mean, it’s not a theoretical scenario, Infinity is going the paid route so you can do just that if you want. Except of all nsfw, which is exactly what I was using Infinity for. Anyway poor Infinity dev, putting their head into the lion’s mouth.
If you had asked me one week ago, I guess the answer would have been a yes. With the way Reddit and its CEO behaved the last few days, right now you would need to pay me to used Reddit again. Fingers crossed the feediverse will keep enough users to make it a real alternative for lots of people.
I would have considered that at the start, but at this point they’ve damaged their ecosystem so much, and correspondingly Lemmy has grown a lot, so I don’t see why I would go back either way.
Yeah, the fact that he seems devoted to following musk’s business practices leaves litte faith for Reddit to ever get back on the right track again. Besides, I’m loving my time here at the fediverse and will probably start selfhosting my own private Lemmy server soon!
No way. I’ve lost all faith in Reddit as a company.
If it was a few weeks ago, I would be happy to pay 1$/month for RiF. Now I just don’t care anymore
They’ve showed extremely bad faith. That’s hard to recover from.
