Three things happened:
-
RedReader did get a free api key for being accessible for screen readers. All the other third party apps got left in the dust.
-
The people who were seriously mad came here. Lemmy was still a bit of a ghost town before these protests, and it was around this time that it gained enough traction to be a viable platform imo.
-
The people that didn't leave got waited out by reddit and went back.
