I tried finding https://kbin.social/m/photoshopbattles Search wouldn’t bring anything up but I copied the url from kbin into the community search bar on lemmy, hit search, nothing…then I refreshed the page and searched it again and it popped up. I had to copy the url from the web browser bar.
The 10 million was a joke. It was to make a point of how ridiculous the situation was based on their pricing.
Something weird happened to me, I was no longer subscribed to two of my most active subs after having been subscribed for a decade. So when they went private I was locked out. I had only messaged one moderator about the protest and they went private.
Personally I don’t want to be apart of something I loved being destroyed by corporate greed anymore. They ruined the connection facebook allowed for families and friends. They ruined the connection of instant sharing of hobbies with instagram. They ruined digg, they’ve been slowly ruining Reddit since they killed alien blue. I don’t get it, with the changes to gold and premium and all the extra stuff they monetized it just doesn’t make sense they can’t break even or make a small profit. It’s like instead of operating on their cash they spent other peoples money with big interest and now it’s coming due. Maybe it’s just pure greed.
I mean its pretty amazing it’s the 15th now and over 5000 are still private when the plan was supposed to go up to the 14th. Many have just switched to restricted. This also gives time for people to get used to other platforms and still get help transitioning away from Reddit while using Reddit to do so. It also gives time for improvements to the fediverse and the apps available.
