just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

    It’s sad to see Reddit go down this path, but the writing has been on the wall for awhile now. Losing Apollo is what had me make the jump to Lemmy.

    Hopefully we build a strong community here.

      new refugee - hello and thank you for welcoming us 🙋🏻‍♀️ very first of what i’m sure will be many posts here in the fedverse. nice to meet you all!

      reddit know the list of named 3p apps out there are. likely tens not hundreds.

      they could have implemented an api management solution to charge those folks differently than what they charge a corporation training lllms.

      i sell this solution to enterprises for a living and it’s not technically hard to implement. truly. thousands of companies large and small with fewer resources than reddit have done it.

      reddit could have done it in less than a couple of hours and charged a fair rate to these developers while making bank on ai.

      but no, spez the egocentric jackass chose this path instead.

      corp controlled social media is both dangerous and toxic. the only way to fix this is to burn them to the ground so burn it we must.

      deleting my reddit account & data on the 30th and watching the latest developments re: blackouts, communities going indefinitely dark even today … with excitement for the future.

      would have never thought in just a week i couldn’t go from loving to loathing something so much.
