People always call this a market failure while willfully ignoring that whenever markets are left unchecked, this is the inevitable outcome.

Also forced them into arbitration, then refused to arbitrate the dispute.

Boost, Slide and Sync are all coming to Lemmy. Lots of other great apps, too, though - I’ve recently been using Thunder and Connect.

I’ll start believing in Reddit’s commitment to direct democracy when users will be able to also vote out admins and u/spez if they don’t like their decisions.

Until then, it’s just corporatism under the guise of some fluffy words.

Yeah, we don’t know yet. On the one hand, it’s still the early days of (some) people leaving Reddit - and who knows if they won’t go back.

On the other hand, the API payment structure and the shutdown of 3PAs hasn’t even happened yet. Even people who are completely oblivious to the situation but who are using a 3PA will have to decide if they’ll be able to deal with the shitty official app, if they’ll just stop browsing Reddit on mobile, or if they’re willing to take a look at alternatives.

What is the “finally” scene from TNG?

but the problem is these people want it to be done by the service/devs/whatever.

I’ll give people the benefit of the doubt. Coming from a centralized service means people are used to things working in a certain way, and they may just not have considered all the advantages of not being forced into a single, centralized service.
