The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase.

Did Reddit win? Time will tell!

Reddit was always going to rebound eventually, it's got a massive userbase and can pull through a fair number of people leaving. I'm pretty happy with the amount of free time I've won back since I've stopped doom scrolling Reddit.

Pretty keen to see how the fediverse improves over time.

I'll still likely get answers to questions by including "Reddit" in my search engine searches, but for general community posting consumption I've been really pleased with Lemmy. I haven't missed Reddit and avoiding ads is 100% worth it for me. It feels like using Gimp instead of Photoshop.
