Considering I found this comment on Reddit, I guess so.

that's the piracy sub... the userbase was pissed at the idiot mods taking the sub down for the API protest, which reddit was obviously super happy about the pirate sub closing down.

i'm pretty sure they regularly railed against the idiot mods to the point that the mods said fuck this and left

Can someone explain me this "Reddit API" thing?

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

Reddit used to have a free and open API. This allowed 3rd parties to develop apps / interfaces for the site. These apps helped everything from making the site usable for some with accessibility issues to blocking ads to providing a customized interface to tons of other things.

Generally this was done by taking the API feed and re-engineering it to allow the desired presentation.

In a move to make the company more attractive to investors before going public, Reddit changed that API to a paid model. This meant any developer of those 3rd party apps would now have to pay a not insignificant in most cases fee to continue their access to Reddit. As such, most apps closed down and a very small portion of us long time Redditors migrated to Lemmy/ the fediverse.

Oi @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ! Are you one of the Reddit Piracy mods? Or are one of your brethren here from Reddit?

I must say I find Piracy, Linux and the Star Trek communities have had a rip-roaringly successful switch over.

I much prefer Lemmy. I have the opportunity to call you a "dick head" whereas on Reddit there's no way Spez would ever see me calling him a "dick head".

That makes me feel powerful and I become engorged.

So, anyway, are you one of the Reddit mods?

P.S. I can't post to this community from Lemmy.World.
