The worst thing about the API changes wasn’t even that most people didn’t care or weren’t on board. It was that they were actively against the people protesting. In real life when this happens I always give some leeway because everyone has their own problems and they might be a bit annoyed by the protest action (which is part of the protest). But on Reddit?? People lost their fucking minds because they couldn’t have access to some subreddits for like 24h.

Sooooo many people failed to realize that even if you didn’t use third party apps that it would still affect you even if indirectly. They didn’t even have to do anything other than literally do nothing/something other that browsing reddit for a day. And they couldn’t. They vilified and downvoted the protesters and took the side of the billionaire trying to take advantage of everyone ruining Reddit in the process

That fiasco in pretty meaningless in todays world events, but fuck, I still find it a great insight into how much we can suck as a species

How do you even migrate history? Would people even want that

Reputation definitely not. Also who even cares about reputation

Subreddits you can migrate in some apps at least
