I don't think organising a strike online is that hard. Remember the protests against FOSTA etc? Or against Reddit management?
The main bit is getting people to care.
- babypuncher 3y agoUsers outnumber developers 1,000:1 and users will never really care about this.
- nulbyte 3y agoNot if you don't talk to them about it. I don't have an Apple device; are developers talking to their users about this?
- lapcat 3y ago> Or against Reddit management? Reddit management won in the end.
- CountHackulus 3y agoDid they? All the subs I used to frequent are ghost houses now. They bit off their nose to spite their face.
- lapcat 3y agoWhich ones are those? The ones I follow, mostly tech such as r/apple, r/iphone, and r/mac, seem to be back to normal.
- Firmwarrior 3y agoAll the subs I followed are a shadow of their former selves.. there's still some half-assed content posted, but it's not worth bothering to try and keep up any more I was on a bunch of small niche subs with 10k users or fewer each Seems like the giant subs like you're talking about are still running, although they're a lot lower quality now that it's effectively impossible to use Reddit on a phone
- CubsFan1060 3y agoRight. RIP Reddit. Can you remind me what that accomplished?
- stevage 3y agoI'm not commenting on whether the protests worked. Just on whether they were hard to organise.
- lapcat 3y agoReddit moderators are unpaid volunteers. They lose exactly $0 if they "strike". The stakes are extremely low in comparison to pulling apps from the App Store. And there are only 75,000 Reddit moderators in total. That's vastly smaller than the number of App Store developers.
