This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.
Glad to have found a new place to hang out!
Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

Check those stats next month when people can’t use RIF, Appolo, etc.
I agree, it definitely was uncomfortable moving from reddit at first, but seeing how familiar the site was, and how much nicer the community is, it feels more like an upgrade than just swapping platforms.
Also, I didn’t expect the protest would have so much of an impact, but I’m all for it!
I’m with you. It really is amazing how much kinder this community is. I love it!
Revoking the API really felt like one of those, “pull-up the ladder,” moments. The API access and the choice of 3rd party UI’s it allowed seemed like part of Reddit’s initial community-focused strategy, a method to drive people there from other platforms by being more open and accessible by allowing people to experience it the way they wanted. Then, they stupidly pulled a Digg by revoking that with no way back.
The issue is you lot. I’ve been perusing all these new sites. Everywhere I go I see reddit mentioned and all the comments say exactly the same thing.
I like the protest. “I have visited reddit”
You aren’t protesting if you keep going to it. You are an active users. Your click your ad revenue your engagement is not a protest.
In order to protest do not access the site. No app no website no third party. That hurts them. You can’t protest but keep going on the site.
It’s 3 days. It’s tough. I’ve honestly struggled something stupid. J probably spend about 12 hours on and off reddit. Whenever I get a minute I hope on. First thing in the morning and last thing at night.
This is affirmative strike action. We are on the picket lines.
DO NOT CROSS THE POCKET LINE.
or it’s not a strike
The fact that hundreds of thousands of users - probably the most valuable ones - are not using reddit (actively) for a few a days now is just astonishing. Sure, the amount of aggregated information over there is still huge so no one can be blamed for casually looking for something specific.
But those users here are the ones initiating the engagement, creating the posts and providing valueable and original content. That dropped drastically.
The majority of users only lurk and comment. Or are bots.
I deleted my 12 year old account history after the “AMA” with Spez and will be fully deleting my account on the 30th. That being said I clicked back on reddit today and browsed a bit of what was up and after spending the last few days on kbin and beehaw I don’t think I can go back.
The amount of toxicity that I was putting up with on reddit was astounding. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it was so bad, even on the smaller subs I was active in. I always have referred to reddit as a cesspit with islands of good content, but I think the landscape changed while I wasn’t paying attention.
I do hope the protest works and 3rd party devs can continue their wonderful apps, but reddit is kind of over for me regardless. The fediverse somehow feels like the early internet, kinda like going home.
I’m having a similar experience in realising how much toxicity I’ve normalised on reddit. Going back on there now feels so absurd.
Right there with you, also had a 12 year old account and deleted it. It’s absurd how this is going. Federated definitely feels more tight knit and less just a media consumption platform.
