Why do people describe Reddit as a community anyways? It’s a corporation, Lemmy is a community.
That’s called Stockholm syndrome
Whats that thing that happens where people begin to defend/ protect their kidnappers or abuser?
This place is a cult and I’m definitely proud to be part of it.
like a multimillion dollar corporation needs you poor mf’s to simp for it. Bruh. Let them burn. Spez is ridiculously self absorbed, to the point of creating his own self-fellating subreddit populated with bots praising him.
Ya know, this whole situation has me thinking about stuff - very dangerous. But it seems like this API move kills a few birds with one stone for the corporate Reddit:
-
They lose all or most of the people that were there since the early days, so you will have less resistance to corporate shitting on users in the future.
-
These people leaving probably removes a large chunk of trolls that fuck with the casual Reddit user - ya know, the gal that didn’t even know there was another mobile app besides the official one.
-
Those casual users probably don’t know much about ad-block.
I guess all that is to say: They’re probably not burning, they’re probably excited the way things are going. They can better package and sell the ever more homogenized, terrible, boring, disney-ad reddit.
My mom finally got on Reddit, it’s going to be the next Facebook
As soon as the parents join, it’s time to start looking for a new site
