      Indeed. I was expecting a two-week “calm before the storm” at this point, as the protest blackout ended but the API was not yet removed. But the protest continued and Reddit keeps stirring the pot. Interesting times.

      I know that in the end Reddit will be able to brute-force themselves a “win”, but if the Fediverse gets a nice solid critical mass of users as a result then I think Reddit’s destined for a long decline.
