I doubt any of these third party apps are going to recoup the named API cost with so many people fleeing reddit. Seems like a big gamble to me. Maybe Relay re-negotiated the price.
I wonder if they just high balled, expecting app creators to negotiate them down instead of taking the offer public and burning things to the ground.
It‘ll be great to see that icon on my screen again! This is amazing!
The German government has been keeping a close eye on its members, especially more extreme members to ensure they "aren't interacting" with openly neo-nazi organizations. Even the most extreme members find ways to skirt the line, avoiding openly meeting with Nazis. Then there's moderates who are covert racist but focus on making their party's core racist, bigoted policies seem like common sense policies to make Germany better. Then you have least extreme members who buy into the racist policies but are ignorant about how racist the policies really are and buy into the moderate propaganda. A lot of these least extreme members denounce extremists, wishing they could expel them from the party and worrying about them overtaking the party, and wringing their hands. Very similar to how the US Republican party works.
I tried voat, it was a hell site. Then I went to empeopled who had crypto rewards for posting (never actually paid out) and it stayed very small and was eventually closed down indefinitely.
Maybe it was all a ploy to see which generals were disloyal to Putin.
