A few days ago I didn't have a single reason to leave reddit. Yet, with so many reasons now, here I am, and I look forward to lemmy and kbin.

Ditto. I wasn't happy but I thought they'd find some sort of compromise since being reddit, the replacement for Digg 2.0, they'd surely understand they can't just be complete twats about it. Then they started denigrating/banning their own mods.... Wtf?
There are still a few niche subs I'll have to keep using reddit for for now, but for everything else I'm happy to move on. I'll also be cancelling my reddit monthly subscription, obviously.

It would have been so easy, just add some rules to 3rd party apps in exchange for reduced API charges.
Any middle ground would have sorted this out in a few days with minimal issues, now they are trying to put out an oil fire by throwing water at it.

Id at least say stick to your guns. I left before the the blackout and haven't been back since. It sucks because I'm missing GameDay threads for the Braves, and 1 or 2 niche subs I'd visit daily, but using it less is still using is.

im taking to Discord to replace gameday threads for me... honestly with how fast game day threads go its probably better.

They have forgotten the faces of their fathers. The entire reason people left Digg in the first place was because they tried to make ads unavoidable. And oh look that's the entire reason Reddit is killing third party apps. They're intent on dying the way Digg did, for the same reason.

/u/spez is a pain, and that is the truth.

If you used a credit card for your subscription fee, would going directly to your credit card company and doing a chargeback cause more chaos for Reddit? Instead of politely canceling your sub and asking for a refund? Chargebacks are a PITA for accounts receivable.

Yeah, I ended up canceling my premium and I'm now using it to donate to lemmy / mastodon instances I'm migrating too. They (spez) has destroyed any (trust) chances of me going back too.

thats what annoys me. If reddit had came forward and said "API access is expensive, we need to be paid a reasonable fee for it, or we cant afford to continue", i would have dontated, or paid for it.
But just saying "its insanely expensive, in 1 month", and then attacking the mods just pisses people off.
