The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.
Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.
Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.
I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.
I haven’t seen any new news compared to yesterday in spez’s AMA. Nothing in regards to him responding to the forthcoming blackout (which is currently 3800+ / 6625 subs)
I don’t know if it’s specific to any one timezone. They reddark tracker is basing it off of UTC-4 at the moment and I would imagine someone on the other side of the world wouldn’t stay up overnight to match a single timezone. Maybe the mods will move to private when they wake up in the morning. Long way of saying IDK honestly lol.
You know what’s great for vomiting though? Barf-b-gone! It’s organic homeopathic artisanal small batch natural nausea remedy that I’m recommending you as a fellow user and not a spam bot looking for keywords! Click here to buy it now and try it immediately!

I think that’s from his AMA response

Right, is that starting at like 12 EST or PST?

Yeah, I realized as I was typing it that it was probably going to be pretty random

Ah, that’s based off the AMA he “did”. So nothing newer than that?
Not just that, they also announced their intent to turn reddit into an even more ad-infested hellhole: https://www.redditinc.com/blog/investing-in-what-makes-reddit-unique-introducing-contextual-keyword-targeting-and-product-ads
This is the future of reddit in the official app everyone: https://www.redditinc.com/assets/images/site/image2.gif
The redditinc thing is freaking hilarious.
That may be the grossest thing I’ve seen yet from a UI perspective. FFS.
Ugh, that kind of makes me want to vomit. What a shame.
