Just re-re-repeating this, lest it get buried:
The question for Reddit communities is, ⚡️“What power do we have to damage the Reddit IPO?”⚡️
That’s it. That’s the game right there. The IPO valuation.
Not “how do we shame them.” Not even “how do we take a bite of their revenue.” Threaten the IPO. That’s the whole impetus behind the API pricing fiasco. Reddit will listen only when they believe they’re in danger of ending up a damaged property.
Right? I’m liking Lemmy so far but the armchair activist “here’s how we hurt Reddit” fixation is cringe as hell. I’m here to argue with strangers, look at cute animals, and read memes about tabletop games dammit. I’m here because I’m done with Reddit, not because I have some dumb chip on my shoulder and can’t stop thinking about it.
