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.
She was the one who worked with r/AmA and was the liaison with all of the celebrities doing AmAs and was frequently the one actually doing the posting from my understanding.
Of course it is, you’ve barely scratched the surface, and a lot of that is still kinda trauma bonding. But stick around and dig in a little deeper, it’s a wonderful place.
Also reddit was invaded by shills and bullshit politics around 2015. For instance r/conspiracy turned from honest discussion of fringe theories like UFOs to ridiculous right wing horseshit about Hillary Clinton or whatever.
It’s quite strange seeing all these digg migrants complaining how the platform was ruined after they joined. As a 12 year plus Reddit account holder we saw you guys as the end being nigh. Of course that’s all water under the bridge now, it’s just interesting the different perspectives. :)
For me I feel like reddit began declining when Victoria was fired in 2015.
This is very much when it began to nose dive

Wait! Don’t go! This is actually a very small part of the fediverse experience. Give it a chance. :)
