Reddit tells rebellious mods of private communities they will be REMOVED unless they reopen - “We see no reason to reopen as I don’t think we’re the bad guys here,” yoasif, an r/firefox moderator who received the message, tells The Verge in an email. “Reddit has had a chance to reconcile with the protest for weeks now, and they haven’t.” #Reddit #redditmigration #RedditStrike #SocialMedia https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/29/23778997/reddit-remove-mods-private-communities-unless-reopen

@morebento @dangillmor Hoffman is now threatening my sub of a few hundred thousand users:

Absolute fascist scare tactics, trying to get people to tell on each other and abandon their friends. #redditblackout #reddit #redditstrike #spez

@postmodern maybe is paranoia, but there's a possibility of having enough "active" users #reddit would allow them to remove your on-strike moderator(s) and end the #redditstrike

cfr.

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

Får nog räkna med att många användare flyttar från Reddit den närmsta tiden då Reddit har planer på att öka på sina priser för användadet av deras API.

#redditblackout has been effective:

> But if the blackout continues, Reddit’s recently accumulated goodwill with advertisers could quickly dissipate.

> “It’s going to be a big turning point,” Johnson said. “They’re hoping for the easy option where everyone quiets down.”

Just deleted my Reddit account! Feels good to not support that company. #redditstrike

The #redditblackout seems to be transitioning into a full on #redditstrike with subreddits pledging to stay closed indefinitely till demands are met! currently ~1200 have pledged!

È stato risolto l'errore, ma rimane il fatto che la piattaforma è saltata solo con una parte dei subreddit e non tutti. #RedditBlackout #redditstrike

With the whole #RedditStrike and #RedditMigration going about, I wish a bit more focus would be given to the idea of resurfacing the old, tried and true concept of #BBS (Bulletin Board Systems).

They are #RetroTechnology enough to be cool. They feel like they'd be right in our alley. And IIRC they were tremendously cheap to implement (you don't need a VPS supercluster as you need with Matrix, Mastodon, etc).

Qualsiasi piattaforma è costituita da utenti e sta a voi, in quanto tali, fare una scelta consapevole su quale scegliere. Libera o chiusa. Facendovi sentire quando le cose non vanno come dovrebbero ;)

Je savais que ça finirait par arriver. Et je pense que c'est vraiment bien que des gens appellent spontanément ça une grève. #RedditAPI #RedditStrike

In solidarity with the #RedditStrike, I've chosen unsubscribe from my #Reddit Premium account. A drop in the ocean, but waves start small. Together, our actions will resonate.

I am so upset that this is the last month I can use #Boost for #Reddit. Their new #API rules are so ridiculous and their official app is horrible. I am definitely going to be taking part in the #redditstrike

For all #reddit users, especially if you use screenreaders: reddit is about to kill the 3rd party apps by changing their API. To fight this:
* Contact the admins of your favourite channel
* Stop browsing on desktop
* Don't download the"official" app
* Get on r/Save3rdPartyApps
* Be loud
* Reach out to the press
* Participate in the protest
Thus a collective of subreddits is going on strike starting on June 12th.
