Right now it looks like it's a decisive victory for spez, contrary to the article's title.

Of course, the long-term consequences aren't clear yet, the moderator exodus might result in the whole platform becoming too low-quality to sustain the user interaction, leading to people moving away from it.

I think we're gonna see another huge blow to Reddit in a few days when all the third-party apps go permanently offline. I'll bet that a lot of people who haven't been paying attention so far are definitely going to start having something to say about it very soon.

Maybe, I'm certainly in that camp. Once RIF stops working I'll stop using Reddit. I don't know that there are a lot of people like me though (and the ones that are are probably here already).

When RiF dies, I'll stop using reddit on mobile.

I'll probably check-in occationally when I'm on desktop, but that'll signifigantly reduce my time on the site.

I've already stopped using reddit altogether on my phone. I moved Apollo off my homescreen.

And I still check reddit on desktop here and there, but that's mostly to check mod messages. And to see what that latest admins are threatening me with. I got 3 small subs that are private. And reddit doesn't like that.
