Hey guys, first post here :)

Just saw this video and wanted to share it with you. Found it very interesting and I think this is a good recap of what went wrong with the strikes. Honestly, I’m kinda glad that things went this way, because it gives the opportunity for the Fediverse to grow even more.

What do you all think?

    But the main thing the guy of the video is not getting, in my opinion, is that the purpose now is not to make reddit change their mind about the API, because they won’t, the purpose is to hit reddit in their wallet, damaging ad revenues and possibly the IPO, those still protesting on reddit are doing this exceptionally well.

    I agree with you here. I think at this point everyone on Reddit knows that they aren’t going to take a step back from their decision. Major Third-Party App devs are closing their services.

    IMO, opening the sub, and posting NSFW content that won’t let Reddit monetise the sub is a great way to protest, until Reddit takes a step to stop that. If people knowingly have changed many subreddits, the protest is still on and the war ain’t lost.
