Engadget shouted out Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon in their Reddit coverage today: The Reddit blackout is already forcing unexpected changes
engadget.com
From the article:
Meanwhile, the blackout has affected Reddit in other important ways. There’s been a small, but growing push among some power users to federated Reddit alternatives like Lemmy and kbin. These decentralized platforms are still niche, and have many of the same challenges as Mastodon and other Twitter alternatives. Yet there seems to be growing interest from some corners of Reddit in recent weeks.

I find this an irritating statement. Before this shit-show, I would have paid ~$5 /month to keep using Reddit the way I was. I got huge value from all the different communities - and their history - that Reddit made possible. But they never made that a real option and instead burnt a lot of bridges.
I think he is mad, because for years he's been getting all this content for free...
I wonder how upset he would get if mods start demanding compensation for their free labor
Yeah spez could have easily cashed in on a lot of money with Apollo and the other 3rd party apps if they worked together. So glad he chose this path though, fuck him.
Of course they're talking about the Reddit getting content for free, right?
