Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well.

teddit.adminforge.de Boost will stop working after July 1st. Thank you very much for your support over the years! 🚀🚀🚀 : r/BoostForReddit

I wanted to inform you that Boost will stop working after July 1st[.](https://i.imgur.com/KD4pPlL.png) As you know, Redd

The protests worked, and so did moving/editing/deleting our old content. As one person complains,

I'm not here for Reddit, but for the aggregation of niche communities. I follow a lot of obscure manga that have relatively small followings and recently I got into an IT job which opened a lot of technological exploration for me. The worst part about this change isn't even that we are losing 3rd party apps, but that only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest. Can't tell you how many times now I've looked something up on Reddit and find an answer to the issue I have, only to realize that the community is closed or the post is deleted in protest. Now we are stuck in this limbo where protests seem to have lost their steam, niche communities are being overthrown and killed because of that greedy little pigboy. Seriously, fuck spez.

protesters were selfish pricks who ruined the reddit for everyone, I sincerely hope they all suffer from hemorrhoids and anal fissures
- Lol u mad
  
  the anger tells us it worked o7
  
  nah i'm good bro, reddit is better off without you loud entitled disobedient douche bags lmfao
  
  So go on reddit, enjoy, live your life to the fullest bro
  
  I like this. To anybody insulting us here we tell them they can stay on Reddit, and we're correct lol
  
  But you're here...
  
  i can be on reddit and here, this place isn't yours either lmfao
  
  The issue with commenters like this is it is hard to tell who is real and who is an astroturfer.
  We recently had a reveal of one. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/92172/Why-Reddit-and-u-spez-must-win and the followup at https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/121064/You-are-winning
  
  This isn't astroturfing this is trolling. They're rage baiting.
  
  All can be true simultaneously.
  Trolling just means putting forth a view that you don't actually believe in, but pretending that you do, to get reactions.
  Astroturfing is where one is hired to participate, but explicitly hides the affiliation (which can mislead folks into believing that this is someone's genuine view or a normal troll when it's actually an effort by an organization like a company to unduly influence public opinion).
  
  Disobedient? Pray tell who were we supposed to be obeying?
  
  Poor fool exposed themselves as another cog in the Reddit machine with that one.
  
  For real, that part made me do a double take. It's crazy to think some redditors are so far gone that they would frame it that way.
  
  that is a beautiful example of projection.
- says the coward who won't delete her account because of memories and nostalgia lmfao
  edited for pronoun
  
  you seem incredibly bitter. I hope you find a better outlet for your anger
  
  Her.
- I dare say you'll find that reddit has ruined reddit for a portion of the users. Protesting is important to stop corporation creep and attempt protect or maintain community values
- I don't think the Fediverse has enough users for you to break EA's "sense of pride and accomplishment" downvote record just yet, but kudos for making an early attempt.
- oh hey, even /u/spez move here. we did it feddiverse!
  
  we did it feddiverse!
  That doesn' t roll of the tongue as well as "We did it Reddit". We'll have to find something else to be our catch phrase.
- I heard they are building a new orbital telescope. It has to be the most powerful one ever built to be able to detect your point.
- Is this our first troll?
  
  maybe u/spez's fediverse id?
