The relay creator did the math and came to the conclusion that an subscription model might maybe work but it would be to tight. It reads as the person is saying that it is unfeasonable.

Even if the apps would comply;

• Reddit will jack the prices again when they see fit.
• Reddit also wins with this pricing because they are gonna pocket the cash.

Reddit will limit 'Recommend' and NFSW content to its official app. >

And ohw yeah you are gonna get less content for your subscription. It is all in bad faith.

Then the people who still use Reddit can leave or just suck it up.

I expect the people who actually gave a shit are long gone than already at that point, so the community can then shout into the void if they would disagree.

After slandering the Apollo Dev, Steve now starts to slander the entire userbase.

I am gonna be honest but instances going down and losing communities could have the same probability as Reddit shutting down Subreddits just because they feel like it.

I understand your concern, but I think it would first be wise to let some communities flourish and look how it holds up in the grand scheme of things.

That is awesome.

First thing I do when the blackout is over is export my history, edit my comments, delete my acc and buh bye Reddit forever.

I can understand where mstdn.social is coming from and it is an "uneasy" situation. But the fact is that you have a choice here in which with whom you communicate.

The irony though of Reddit discussing to stay on Reddit and actually comply with the Autocratic leadership it has.

True freedom is the ability to spout nonsense on a forum, label a community the way you see it, call the people illiterate and see the moderators as authoritarian without getting punched in the face.

Ohwww the irony.

I literally only use discord to voice chat with my friends once a year when we are gaming.

Do people use it for other stuff?

Jerboa on List mode is closer to RIF than I thought.

It is very pleasant on the eyes and the no BS ui is very appealing.

This should be bumped.

The smaller/niche communities is what made Reddit interesting.

When those eventually decide to pack and the only vibrant communities are the meme subreddits etc then you would probably see a drop in usage.

I agree. I never moderated a subreddit because I have seen what vitrol people spew at moderators.

I actually thought that moderators were getting compensated and I was extremely baffled when I heard they weren't. I cannot understand why someone would take that role to just get piled on day by day.

The projection part is more focused on the people who scream (1 of my favorites); "What is gonna happen is that after 48 hours people come back, suck it up and install the new app"

I can understand the sentiment and alot of people will probably do that, that is a choice one makes.

I do think that the power users and/or people who contribute to the community are looking elsewhere at some point.

I also don't have an illusion that Reddit implodes overnight and I will be suprised if people will leave en masse after 48 hours.

But I do know and that is a sentiment that I keep saying; Reddit will rail it's userbase one way or the other. They already made it clear that they keep monetizing until they are profitable but companies always want more and more. So you are effectively getting railed eventually and continuously.

The amount of projecting going on in some subreddits the past days is telling.

People are quite afraid that in fact the "leavers" won't come back.
