The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.
Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.
Of course, there will be people who just don't care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don't care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don't moderate any subreddits, and don't follow the Internet news.
I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.
Link? That's not good news :/
I think that's from his AMA response
I haven't seen any new news compared to yesterday in spez's AMA. Nothing in regards to him responding to the forthcoming blackout (which is currently 3800+ / 6625 subs)
Right, is that starting at like 12 EST or PST?
I don't know if it's specific to any one timezone. They reddark tracker is basing it off of UTC-4 at the moment and I would imagine someone on the other side of the world wouldn't stay up overnight to match a single timezone. Maybe the mods will move to private when they wake up in the morning. Long way of saying IDK honestly lol.
Yeah, I realized as I was typing it that it was probably going to be pretty random

Ah, that's based off the AMA he "did". So nothing newer than that?
