We are a magazine dedicated to the protest and boycott of Reddit. We are protesting due to Reddit's unfair API policy changes, the disgusting lying behavior of Spez the CEO, and the forced departure of the Apollo app and other 3rd party apps. Remember, the content on Reddit is generated by US THE USERS. It is OUR DATA they are profiting off of and claiming it as theirs.

Reddit is trying to turn mods against mods.

Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen:

“If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening. We would handle this request and any retaliation attempts here in this modmail chain immediately.

Our goal is to work with the existing mod team to find a path forward and make sure your subreddit is made available for the community which makes its home here. If you are not able or willing to reopen and maintain the community, please let us know.”

So, they will remove top mods who are for being private, but keep the many top mods who keep their subs open despite their members and other mods wanting to join the protest? Mhm, okay, Regreddit.

ORIGINAL POST

TEXT FROM POST: "Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy"

Hear me out, I know no one likes ads, probably one of the main reasons why people used 3rd party apps for reddit. I can't exactly donate to help kbin, however if there was a setting I could toggle to opt in viewing ads to support kbin and things like server costs, I'd do it, in hopes for improvement of the website.

What do ya'll think?

Edit: Y'all have made very good points why that is a bad idea, possibly puts pressure on kbin, and well, is selling our data. Likley governed by cooperations that are once again greedy.

I think atleast for now we should try to stick to donation and ad-free ways to support kbin, thank you for your insights and opinions!
