And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.

They would want to test it on one subreddit first and see how it went. The quality will tank, but this is something they could get away with.

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

Yup. They only care about the ipo at this point. Money is far more important than ethics.

It’s depressing that I’m not surprised one bit. At this point, I don’t even think it’s worth sticking around until 3PA shut down on the 30th.

Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"

[–] Nogami@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (12 children)

I'm quite happy here now. Given up on reddit. The day Apollo's API key is deleted is the day I edit all of my comments and give up on the platform completely. It's strange I how feel no regret over saying that. It's just the way it's going to be.

I wonder if they saw a bunch of traffic trying to access advice animals and decided it was a good testing grounds for removing mods.

Greedy people fuckin' nice things up. Nothing new under the sun.

[–] aka_oscar@beehaw.org 20 points 1 year ago

I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.

This makes more sense, and its awful.

[–] zombuey@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.

Reddit? Are they new? Never heard of it 🀣 Probably won't get very big

[–] legion@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

So much for all the "oh, it's not hurting our revenue" dismissals.

[–] omnilynx@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It'll just lead to a general decline in sub quality.

This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.

bootlickers, inc.

I saw a lot of people predicting this before the blackout. I expect a lot of the mods will refuse to moderate.

[–] artistan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apparently, a heck of a lost of drama involving this.
