The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
I gave up on being a mod when it all started. Not in protest but because i don’t give enough of a shit to deal with drama. What amazed me was how fast people folded. While i am on lemmy, all of my Internet existence drops in yhe summer so saying fuck it I won’t be on reddit for the next few months wasn’t difficult. People must be addicted bad.
