I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

190 comments fedilink hide all child comments

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

You overestimate how many people use third-party apps. They are the (very) vocal minority. They may represent a majority of the content submitted, but there's an arbitrary number of web users who don't have an account (hi) in addition to all the casual users who just use the app.

Yes it's vocal minority, but that local minority is the reason why silent majority have content that keeps them on reddit.

Not just content creation, but moderation / free labour

Yes, it's also important, but lack of high quality content will hit way earlier.
