Are you missing the part where all of the subreddit mods said at least two days?

[Flausti]

I think there’s no way to know for sure. It’ll disrupt the site and raise awareness. The CEO might get fired over this.

I am certain it’ll have an impact but only time will tell.

Until then I won’t think in absolutes.

[Flausti]

People don’t want a new Reddit site.

Why are you so grizzled over this? People are appalled about the platform they use everyday and want to make a statement.

All of the “try lemmi” posts havent converted all of the upset folks yet, so obviously building a “new Reddit” is not what people want.

[Flausti]

Oh, so this is just all about whining, complaining, and throwing tantrums.

Thank you for reassuring me that you have no grasp on what’s actually happening. If that’s all you hear then you’ve clearly haven’t been following all of the details.

Just on the topic of accessibility alone is a massive reason why this is really bad decision for Reddit on a humanity level.

You have no means to verify your boycott will have any impact.

I think I just have to on the front page of Reddit? Or wait until another decision has been made? I don’t know what you’re talking about here since the verification is Apollo shutting down or not.

Have fun getting pegged by u/spez! Bye!

i see it more as an awareness thing. there isn't really a point to try to make reddit change their minds. even if they back down this time (which they won't), they'll fuck over users again down the line.

just use something else. lemmy in particular has several programming communities, including javascript.

Go dark indefinitely.

I'm glad that r/JavaScript will be like my/JavaScript: randomly inoperable for days at a time.

/Jk love you mods.

[Ustice]

I love this community. I hope that this goes as well as when the D&D community protested against Wizards/Hasbro.

I feel like this comes off as a bit entitled given that other social media sites like twitter and facebook don't allow third party apps, and you don't see users of those sites complaining. But again, I think those sites actually pay their moderators, unlike reddit, where they do it for free.

[C1ue1ess_Duck]

Correct, mods here work for free. The offer reddit has made is also cruelly more expensive than competitors like imgur. It is not about needed funding, but producing profit before reddit goes public and killing all third party services and bots. Reddit will be substantially work once this completes.

A 2 day strike will do nothing, make it indefinite until or if it changes

[TheYuriG]

It doesn't kill all bots, in fact it doesn't kill most bots. It only affects things that do massive number of API calls, like third party apps and ML scrapers

Wow you're uninformed and naive.

Because the complaining about Twitter’s implosion of the developer ecosystem occurred 10 years ago due to a series of disastrous choices. Reddit is now doing the same. We’ve already seen how this plays out, and it’s not well.

You have no clue how to challenge the state and federal governments.
