I left reddit during the API scandal. I had the energy and time to move platforms and so I did. Open software, FOSS, non-for-profit digital solutions are all things I’m trying to support more at the cost of not using those paid or private services. Every dollar out of their pockets (the rich) is another dollar in ours.
wish i knew about api, im guessing it also allowed you to remain “hidden” so its harder for reddit to ban accounts? its probably one of the other reasons they wanted it gone, aside from the money from ads, and not being paid by those APIS.
