Will Reddit ever cave in? (lemm.ee)

Exactly as the title says, do you guys think Reddit will buckle and at least be more reasonable or maybe even reverse their current decisions?

Edit: if not lemmy to the moon ๐Ÿš€

If you post about your disdain for Reddit's handling of the situation on a mainstream subreddit you get downvoted and spammed with "official app isn't that bad" replies.

The sad truth is: only power users care about 3rd Party Apps and those make up for a very small percentage of the userbase.

Reddit doesn't care about us.

Maybe a small percentage of the overall userbase, *but *a huge percentage of the mods (who do most of the janitorial work that keeps the place mostly clean of spam and other miscreants so it's usable) use those 3rd party apps.

That's what I'm hoping for. We'll see come June 15th how the blackout really affected the site, and on July 1st if content creators / mods / power users where really committed to the cause.
