I think it's really funny how everyone seems to think Trump hasn't been arrested before.

What happened is the reason that Lemmy has the user base it does now. Here's a HIGHLY-abridged version:

Reddit admins chose to strengthen censorship and guidelines against anything that could be considered lewd. I so doing, regulating apps that linked to Reddit like RIF became targets.

Reddit admins chose the path of strict regulation and higher prices, and then made the pricing for API access exorbitant. Since RIF requires that access, the cost became a hurdle and many developers, subreddits and users fought back in the ways they could.

Ultimately, Reddit was trying to force traffic (and revenue) through ONLY their app and access, and caused a large number of apps and communities to close entirely.

If you'd like to hear details from people with much more information, check out redditwasfun on here, or do a quick Google search in the saga. It's been a total shit show.
