Still no mention of Lemmy or Kbin
It’s so wierd. User’s will complain like hell, but never actually stop being users.
How is “compettiu” supposed to work if you’re not willing to to switch to a “competitor”? There’s no competition forcing a company to improve if you just really sternly tell them off, then continue being a customer regardless.
Because redditors aren’t the customers but the product. What reddit is selling to its advertisers are people that do exactly what you said. Complain but not change.
Gradually, then suddenly.
Most users don’t make principled stands that easily. People are still on Twitter.
They’ll jump ship eventually, as the services will inevitably continue their downward spiral. As far as I’m concerned they can take their sweet time. I’d much prefer seeing the fediverse grow gradually along with its own culture rather than having a sudden influx of users act as if it’s an exact substitute for the place they are leaving behind.
It’s becoming more of a mess every day
Very glad I switched to lemmy.
Today is my first day using Lemmy with Jerboa, and I’m seeing enough quality and volume to stay.
I’ve been using Connect until the boost app comes out and it’s not bad! I will also say I actually enjoy using the desktop site as well, better than reddit in so many ways.
Oh no! Anyway.
Sorry, but where is the mess? Sounds like lots of people are still actively engaged with Reddit. That’s sounds good for any investors of Reddit for sure…
Sorry, but where is the mess?
“The changes in July made access to Reddit’s API too expensive for smaller third-party apps to maintain operations. This forced some to shut down, like Apollo, ReddPlanet, Sync, and BaconReader. These third-party apps were popular because many were available before an official Reddit app was created in 2016. They also offered accessibility options for the visually impaired that the official app doesn’t.”
Right. This is exactly why everyone thought the 3rd party clients were better.
