sigh, it's hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a "Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting" position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it's machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.
We're talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit's whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.
Not going to happen as long as mods are asking for it but fully showing they aren't willing to actually leave and are returning subs to normal.
What incentive is there for Reddit to change anything the way mods demand when they can't even be bothered to give the threat of leaving by setting up an alternative community off reddit?
Way this is going if I'm spez I'm confident that mods and users are already giving up and going back to using reddit. They can't leave.
Ain't gonna happen. Reddit does not care about its users. The only way forward is the fediverse!
So they’re on step 3 of grief now?
Why would third party apps return? Reddit has lost their trust in a manner that I can't see them recovering.
Just yelling into the void.
Even IF they reverted. Cool
Does anyone that’s shifted here care? “Oh we trust Reddit leadership now, see ya lemmy”
This is pathetic, in a sad way
Actually pathetic - first a strike....with a deadline. Second, buckle to their whims to retain jobs they do for free. Third...try and negotiate? What the fuck HAHA
Fuck that. Nothing short of Reddit getting rid of its CEO, Open Sourcing their app and canceling their IPO plans would even make me consider using it again. I see a much better future on the Fediverse.
Honestly they should of restricted third party apps to premium users
Its too late now as they have already killed the community
Pathetic tbh. I doubt most of us who left would go back anyway. Fuck spez.
Even if they make it free, I’m not going back.
A pathetic, spineless list of demands.
Charging one cent is one cent of price gouging.
