This is what I was getting at. Any other point in time, people would have just sat on the sidelines until subs opened again, but now that alternatives exist, people have somewhere to go.
I personally think that regardless of Reddit going back on API pricing and what not, they burned too many bridges with outside devs that third party apps would be going away period. They didn’t just cross the line, the treated it like the Olympic long jump. Reddit did some real damage to a lot of communities, not just hobby’s but users with disabilities, neurodivergent users, and many more that relied on apps to help them use Reddit.
If it wasn’t for the fediverse, I’m not gonna lie, I’d probably go back. But now that I’m here, no way.
