Jack Dorsey I zapped you 12 sats first time I ever zapped you cause for once you're on my side. 🤙
Kurwa.
I think ever since Ellen Pao … it was only a matter of time before something like this happened …
Another walled garden in death throes.
If you want to charge for API calls… make them worth something!!
They will just push people to other platforms, hopefully decentralized and censorship resistant. Who said Nostr? Maybe, we can dream.
there's a writer's strike in which i am participating in solidarity, currently ongoing - this type of exploitation is part of that protest.

This battle was destined to be lost from day one. They have zero leverage. Zero, nada, zilch.
Whats worse, reddit mods are notoriously bad. Which makes it even harder to give a crap.
Society as a whole will have to change and collectively walk when companies do this *or it does not matter*.
Reddit will quickly find new mods, and this will be over.
The mods are what keeps Reddit’s decentralized (correct me if I’m wrong), self-managed system running… Reddit has a free, passionate and willing workforce right now. Why mess that up?
I understand Reddit, to be honest. If I were management I would kick them as moderators and them open these stupid subreddits. I mean this is a private business? Am I alone?
it's a private business that uses unpaid mods to do most of its work, and user submissions to generate its value. so ignoring those users and mods when they roundly reject an obvious cash grab, that breaks mod tools and makes the user experience significantly worse, is pretty tone-deaf to say the least
Reddit mods acting like they are the owner of the platform, many are toxic and tyranny , was good situation to remind them who are they actually.
These companies keep forgetting that users are what drives value for these platforms. Going to war against your users seems like a bad business move
I cannot imagine investors being happy with a company whose CEO is so oblivious as to have missed an entire ecosystem of profitable apps adjacent to his service. At least by his own account. Steve is clown shoes…
"Reddit CEO Steve Huffman . . . is apparently unaware that Reddit's success is because of the posts by the users that use the service in all of its forms."
🍎🤢
What do you think about all this?
I sure hope we get to keep using Damus app…. It’s awesome #[2]​ #[1]
