It’s probably the owner of the channel that shadow banned you. As a creator, I have an option to “Hide User From Channel” any user I want, which is effectively shadow banning them.

Nope. It’s the principle, for me. I will not use a site that’s run by a militant idiot. Same reason I deleted my Twitter account (although that was much easier since I never used Twitter to begin with).

Good points, I guess time will tell if enough people with enough significance left (or will leave). I just don’t think so, unfortunately. But hopefully.

There clearly is not. Even people on here, who say they “quit” Reddit, often go on to say “I only go on it now for this one subreddit” or “I only go on it to check news” etc. Spez bet that people would either not care about him shitting all over the Reddit community for profit, or be too addicted to Reddit to actually do anything about it. And he was right.

These predictions that Reddit will collapse because the “power users” have left are ridiculous. It’s not difficult to find recycled trash on the internet to shitpost on Reddit. Hell, bots can do it, and have been. People just want garbage to mindlessly scroll through and leave their dumb comments on (“user name checks out, har har”).

I will personally never use Reddit as long as it’s run my Spez (or any other equivalent asshole), but it’s quite clear that they’ve survived this API debacle just fine.

It’s great, but I really wish it had the equivalent of Apollo’s “compact” mode!

The dissent didn’t state that the case should have gone the opposite way… they argued that the case should be moot based on the fact that the original dispute that caused the case had been settled. At least, that’s my understanding.

First post. Fuck Spez.
