I’m a long-time #Reddit user with the karma to prove it. I love the site, but have been absent now for several days. PLEASE, stay off of Reddit for at least the next few days, we’ve got a point to make - that our community is mightier than the greedy corporation. The CEO says it will “…all blow over soon…” Let’s prove him wrong. It’s hard, but we need to stay off the site until management gets the point. It’s ok to explore profit-making moves, but it’s not ok to attack the community and valued third party app devs. #redditblackout#redditapi#redditstrike#redditapiprotest
@CharlieMcHenry ditto, 6 years there and i really enjoyed it, but because of 3rd party apps (Apollo and Slide). The internal memo was the end for me though, i couldn’t see that users would stay motivated enough to continue the blackout so i deleted my account. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong
@CharlieMcHenry I wonder if they've worked out that a lot of their page hits are just people deleting their accounts or scraping its content for posterity
