Unsurprising at all. The lack or the reduction of 3rd part app and API access does not affect the vast majority of reddit users who use the official website and the official app. The vocal minority is unlikely to convince the majority users to boycott. The moderators who choose to keep any subreddit private extended period of time is effectively choosing to slowly kill off their subreddit, after which a replacement subreddit is likely to just spring forward and replace. I think this whole saga is emotional and irrational response.
- kgwxd 3y agoEmotional, yes. Irrational, no. There’s only one legal move the users and mods have to maybe make a difference.
- drivebycomment 3y agoIrrational because there's no path and clear leverage that helps them get to the purported end-goal. It is more like a tantrum than a strategic calculated response, which makes it more irrational than rational.
- satvikpendem 3y agoThe only legal move is to quit reddit entirely.
