This is why I finally left, because the asshole started removing his volunteer moderators and replacing them with employees for the crime of protesting his lies and slander of app developers who brought in hundreds of thousands of users, many of whom are now reading this comment because they're no longer on that sinking ship of a site.

Fuck spez.

Reddit is fun user here, exactly. I left the moment I read about the API bullshit.

[–] Ohi@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yup, same. RIF app was how I loved browsing reddit, and it shutting down over the API cost was devastating. Add in the forced removal of mods who didn't re-open their communities that were protesting was the final nail in the coffin for me. Fuck their IPO.
