I can’t say I’m surprised we’ve arrived at this point but still… If this is the precedent set then there’s surely not much more that can be done. Thing that sort of sickens me is seeing just how many people are immediately lining up to take over as mods for these subs, but maybe I’m just naïve.
Reddit has been so transparently awful in handling this whole situation that I wouldn’t go back. I can only imagine something similar would happen again not too far in the future anyway, regardless if they were to reverse their decision with the API.
