Is it justified to bump up the api pricing? What will be the outcome? Did it have an inpact on you?

Is reddit justified to bump up it's pricing? Well, they can do whatever they want. In the end it's our fault for entrusting our online lives to monolithic companies.

Reddit will most likely survive. People are inherently lazy and the official app is good enough.

I've took this as an opportunity to give the federated social sphere a chance because there were going to be a lot of folks doing the same and the chance to get something stable going was never going to better. In the beginning it was rough but I'm close to getting much of my entertainment needs fulfilled by the fediverse. I might really make this my new home and just go back to reddit for specific niches.

My hope is that the next time reddit pisses of the community, the fediverse will be in an even better place and more will decide to switch and stick with it.

Fair point.

I think so as well. Reddit is one of the biggest sites on the planet, it takes a lot to take down a giant.

Hope you found your new home here. Reddit just got worse over the years. I took the same road as well.

My hope is that the next time reddit pisses of the community, the fediverse will be in an even better place and more will decide to switch and stick with it.

I would like to see that as well, i think the fediverse already got a bunch of users more since the strike. Nice to see them give this federated universe a chance.
