What happened on June 21st? The API shutdown was on July 1st.
It was around the days when spez goons started threatening moderators to open their subs
i think some migrated early
I came during the blackout and planned to go back afterwards. I committed to staying when spez opened his mouth.
That's what I was gonna say, the blackout ended on the 14th and then spez did his ama so I feel like that might've been the push people needed to make the change.
Some preemptively moved over in a transition period maybe?
It was clear around then that we might as well jump ship. No reason to wait to the last minute... I was ready to de-reddit and not go there any more.
Was that around the time of the spez AMA? Maybe that was a tipping point for a lot of people - the various protests had been completely ignored and admins tripled-down.
The news broke before July 1st
I don't think I was that early, but I made my account about a week before the 3rd party shutdown. I'd imagine a bunch of others did too.
