I was surprised by how insane the ama got. Considering Reddit is a major social media platform, I expected them to act more professional and pretend to care about people's input, attempting to make their users look like they are at least fine with these changes. I prefer the actual outcome more, love how spez doubled down on the allegations he made against Apollo while everyone blasts Reddit so much they can't do much about it unless they start taking extreme measures.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

While i can't imagine how much of a shit sandwich spez is eating behind the scenes. he's just made it so much worse for himself. Dude should resign, cash out, do whatever.
i read the tifu he posted and wanted to laugh. talks out one side of his mouth about community yet they are forcing these changes through the community doesnt like without any care and lying about the devs who provide us with good functional apps to use reddit. thats not something someone whos trying to build a community does.
That tifu was a fake, it wasn't posted by spez
I don't really want to delete my history, so I'm editing all my top comments to include:
>Edit 2023/06/10: Leaving Reddit due to /u/spez doubling down on API changes. Will keep post history for future visitors.
I doubt Reddit didn't make backups of their databases anyways so this will let more people know what's going on.
I get it, but leaving your data intact still drives traffic to the site. I hate that I'll be wiping my account, but I'm not about to let reddit continue profiting off me while they're so clearly uncaring of what the users want and care about.
You do you, but they don't deserve your comments, your takes, any of it.

Probably a good thing for Kbin as lots of Redditors will come to this site as a replacement, myself included (though I'm currently just trying it out).
Just deleted my Reddit account of 12 years. What a pompous loser. Here to stay.
