I find it kinda funny that my most upvoted post is John Oliver. It shows how much he is a symbol for the protest against the api.

    Yup. They want people to just be empty shells and consume contents. As long as people go to reddit on their Reddit’s app and view targeted ads, it’s a win for them.

      It’s not zero:sum though.

      I still glance at reddit but I don’t spend time there or put up content anymore. My energies and clicks are mostly fediverse now.

      Once RIF goes down I doubt I will go there unless I need something specific I can’t find here.

      Reddit isn’t going away, it’s just going the way of facebook and twitter.

        For sure. I wil still visit a few subreddits, namely my city one, as it is one of the place that I can know the little scoop of what’s happening.

        But as for having a serious discussions in various topics, Fediverse all the way.
