“First, thank you for all the years of dedication to Reddit. You’re amazing.”
“PS I’d like a raise… Oh wait, no I wouldn’t… Because you are not, I repeat, not my boss!”
While I appreciate Spez being burned at the stake, why are there so many fucking awards on things. People know that those directly contribute to Reddits revenue right?
They also gave plenty of awards or coins away couple of years ago, just for installing the 1st party client and logging in.
I do like to think people aren’t buying these as of now and just emptying them
Why the fuck did they even remotely think this would be a good idea anyway? There is literally 0 good will towards reddit right now and for good reason.
I’m on Lemmy now, so actually it was a brilliant idea
I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.
Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don’t think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let’s make space out of it.
We just need a easy to use, beautiful mobile client and so many people will switch over to it.
One can only dream that these canceled 3rd party clients might join some day. Hopefully some will be opensource or they decide to support any other platform.
It would’ve been great if they just collectively change to something else.
The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,
- I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
That’s great! Thanks for the info
I’ve been following that non AMA for a few hours, and it’s been a bloodbath. Spez really needed to hire a PR team because that was a clown show of epic proportions.
Always has been
