Yeah, it will become unsustainable for the 3rd party devs, that’s why many of those apps will shutdown, Reddit will got what they want in the end, no more 3rd party apps, or really gimped ones.

Yeah, in their answers, they didn’t show any will to compromise.

So the non-commercial thing means that the dev can’t show ads and add donations to his app? That’s really scummy, they would have to work on the app without any contribution, maybe people could support him elsewhere but idk.

True, when the dev is also the user, the software is made to satisfy both, and its sad for the devs that works in corporate too, because most of them want to make the best product too, but the higher-ups are the ones choosing what anti-customer shit they have to implement, and they often have to crunch too.

Yeah, that’s why I’m a fan of free software, it’s a collaborative effort to create and improve software for the community, that doesn’t treat it’s users like a product to be exploited. It’s a noble cause. Corps like to attract user making a “good” product and when big enough, they switch to predatorial tactics to squeeze dry their userbase.

Better late than never i guess.

Yeah, I wasn’t interested in Twitter, I’ve heard about Mastodon and the Fediverse, but the Reddit situation is what made me jump into it. I loved the Reddit format so Lemmy was a simple choice.

I hope you won’t be too overwhelmed with the current boom of the Fediverse.

I’m glad that the Fediverse is thriving right now, I didn’t know much about it a week ago, thanks Reddit I guess.

Yeah, and I don’t like Twitter threads with their character limit and using multiple post to make 1 message. It looks stupid imo.

The real discussions are really limited by this concept, and it makes reading those a chore.

If Reddit really wanted to not target 3rd party apps, they could do it, idk if they can see what kind of app are making the APIs calls, but they could’ve worked something with the 3rd party app devs, I’m not believing what they say.

Hoping Reddit is next lol 🙌
