I don’t. I like how I can comment on something and not have it buried. Engagement is much higher here

And had to buy a 3rd party app themselves

Remember when Reddit had the breaking stories LONG before everyone else?

What sane person would possibly invest in a company like this?

Ignoring how inept they’ve been throughout this whole ordeal, they don’t even have control over their own site! It’s pathetic

They should just design a game that doesn’t require so many mods in the first place

Why do you care? Is kbin.social not a free speech platform? If not, I’ll find somewhere else to go.

I don’t even agree with these folks, but if people are going to start raising a big stink because people are saying things they don’t like, I’m out.

Steve isn't backing down, but cowardly mods certainly are!

What really sucks is that it eliminates any sort of trade-in systems. I rarely have the desire to play a game I've already finished, at least I would be able to recoup some of that money towards a new game. There goes that along with lending games to friends

Frick yes!

Okay, but what does Ja Rule think?

He has to be trolling

Marketing dollars! Only reason they did this is so they can say “hey look! We still have 3rd party apps!”

It is baffling to me the timeline they chose for this. If I were an investor I would see this as complete desperation. What stable company makes these decisions seemingly on a whim?

I completely agree.

The site has been basically the same and unimproved for a decade. What do the Reddit employees even do? When was the last time they actually improved the site?

I agree. I think Reddit is delusional if they think they will be able to successfully monetize what are essentially just forums. Reddit users themselves don't give a hoot about Reddit as a brand, company, or product. They care about communities and being able to have discussions on their favorite subjects. There's no secret sauce proprietary to Reddit at all and people will go where ever everyone else is

As long as it brings interesting content over here, I don't see an issue with doing it

Love it

Love it! Thank you

I haven't seen a single comment that began with "Imagine.." yet. The lack of immature and pointless sarcasm is a breath of fresh air

as long as there are suckers out there, crypto will live.

Great idea! I really miss r/MMA

TOTK

It's annoying that they chose to shout out the instance that is not completely open to new users and has de-federated from other popular instances

I haven’t seen any of these things

Elden Ring

Excellent question

I’m late to the Twitter party, but It doesn’t seem so bad to me? I know I’m supposed to hate it, but I don’t know why.

It is insane that they are off by default

Fuck off with this shit. Sounds as if you're the one with some sociopathy.

With the popularity of Reddit and how simple (in theory) of a concept it is, it blows my mind that there is not an alternative. Kbin and Lemmy are okay, but they are pretty big compromise so far.

Lol seriously?

Finally?

This is so true. The mocking and hostile replies were enough for me to not even bother most of the time

If anything, 3rd party apps and free apis makes bots and fake users MUCH easier. This new policy should help Reddit in that regard

Wow! I completely forgot that this existed!

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren't so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

@Unused_neurons

If you feel strongly enough about the API situation to block your sub from MILLIONS of people, you are drawing a line in the sand. Any person with a spine or conviction would go down with a fight. It doesn't matter how futile. MAKE Reddit take action and deal with the consequences of their own actions.

@CorrodedCranium

It's either: make Reddit take control and risk losing their communities to bad or no moderation. At the absolute minimum, you put Reddit in a bad/risky situation

or

Give reddit what they want and keep the community the way it was. Reinforcing Reddit's position and justifying all of the bullshit they've done while simultaneously negating their participation in the protests themselves.

Only one of those options has an outcome that ends with it being for nothing.

They chose the latter

Same

well he's not wrong...
