Oh I don't disagree with you. It's frustrating trying to explain this to this type of person though because they're typically dead set on hating Lemmy by that point.

I think it's become an issue because the type of person to actively leave and protest Reddit will be sensitive, even if overly so, to issues like this.
It's going to end with a relatively small reddit exodus with most returning to reddit in a few weeks. People are lazy, and will concede to the API changes just like they all did with Twitter. Remember when Musk took over and made all those dramatic changes heavily monetizing the platform? Everyone was crying how Twitter will die and that they were all quitting. Well guess what? Almost all of them went back to Twitter anyway and now use the official app just like Musk wanted. Reddit will be no different sadly.
Bigger is not always better. Smaller communities are exactly why the old internet used to be better. Less centralization of userbases meant more productive discussion and friendlier communities.
Nah. There’s no need. I deleted my account there.
Thank you! I just noticed that. They have to manually delete the account as it just submits a request. Are you kidding me? What an inefficient system.
Agreed. I use 1Password and love it.
This is what I want to know. I don’t want to be in a walled garden.
Ew ok that's good to know.
