This is a rant post and I apologize but I had to talk about this. Most subs are coming back online and not saying ANYTHING about the next steps. Only a handful of subs are going indefinite. I checked the front page for the first time today after leaving the a couple hours before the day of the blackout and what do I see? Subs are up, and comments and upvotes are up to the general average before the blackout.
I checked r/gaming to see their recent post (WHICH HAS OVER 68k UPVOTES), and I see a comment with over 500 upvotes saying in a nutshell, “You guys need to calm down, they’re a company and need to make money”.
Along with a couple other comments saying similar things. Are you fucking serious? You can’t even have the fucking balls to say, “This is a company that has consistently screwed over its users and I need to take a stand and quit my addiction”? You’re just gonna sit and do nothing? Fuck you. You’re no fucking better than u/spez. You’re all a bunch of fucking hypocritical liars for shitting on spez and the admins while talking about how you’re “done” with Reddit and you won’t support this.
Go touch grass you fucking addicted cowards. I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy if it means I don’t have to interact with dumbfucks like you.
Yeah i have seen a good amount of “I don’t want to be inconvenienced for third party apps” and that Reddit is already giving assurances that mod tools and accessibility apps are exempted from the changes.
I’m not a mod but I thought a lot of mods use tools built into the third party apps that just aren’t present on the official app. So Reddit saying mod tools are unaffected seems like a promise they don’t have the ability to keep.
Yeah, as an avid user of Apollos “Comment Nuke” option, the thought of having to manually delete 20+ comments one by one is… not amazing.
