EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as “Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks.” will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!
ModCodeofConduct switching subs to SFW
POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)
“What the users want” my ass. Reddit doesn’t give 2 shits about what the users want.
edit:
r/interestingasfuck removed as well
Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit
Let the bots take over
It’s always been Stormfront 2.0 anyway
Fuck reddit
Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)
What really worked for me was the https://sub.rehab website. When I found that, it made me realize I need to stick with the people who actually built the subs I love – the mods. Here I am.
I find that a large majority of redditors are still somehow completely clueless about what’s happening.
So I made this little formatted summary of events inviting confused redditors to lemmy/kbin if anyone wants to copy/paste; seems to get people to understand.
@OtakuAltair At this point I don’t care about redittors or reddit. It can go on to be wildly successful, doesn’t matter to me, I’ve moved on.
Username checks out?
I’m eager to see how reddit becomes a steaming turd after June 30th, that imbecile is gonna end up with nothing of value in his hands. Let’s see where that profit comes from then
Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.
It will only slow them temporarily you don’t need api for bots
Yeah, it’ll only kill the useful ones in the long run.
Yeah. The unethical bots will just use scrapers, as they already do for the many websites that don’t offer APIs. They’re already violating ToS, so they don’t care. Ethical ones won’t have that option (at least not past the fairly low quota).
Correct. Now the bots will be constantly scraping the pages of every post which will be a much bigger burden on their servers.

Jesus, this is escalating fast. I never actually thought admins would go to such crazy lengths. Such pathetic desperation!
I fully expected Reddit to fight dirty, but it’s still surreal watching the iron hand come down against the community. Silver lining, I hope this helps accelerate the migration to the fediverse.
I remember ten years ago sharing beers with admins who visited London. Back when there was a push for developing local communities and Global Reddit Meetup Day. There was good vibes and a feeling of mutual respect.
I met my wife through Reddit.
I still have so much affection for the site in my heart.
It’s just wild to me how much has changed.
Really glad I never got that Snoo tattoo now.
Reddit isn’t the first online community I watched outgrow itself into the grave. I guess it’s just the cycle of social media. Here’s hoping this time’s different.
