The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Thats how a lot of people, including me, ended up here on Lemmy, so I’m still glad it happened. Here I feel like im in the early days of the internet again and its great.
Same! It feels like when I first joined Reddit in the early 2010s
I totally agree with you, all this has been just what I needed after witnessing the rapidly escalating enshitification of, literally, everything.
