Loss in terms of money or efforts. Could be recent or ancient.

I hope the Redditors that didn't care about the whole thing never find their way here. I can't imagine being that apathetic about something you use daily.

Eh. I wouldn't hold that against them. Reddit or Lemmy is just social media. Just one small aspect in people's lives. Pretty hard to care about something like Reddit taking away API access when you've got much more important things like a job, a social life and a family to care for. Even harder when you only use the official apps.
