Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they’re calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

    Yeah but they are probably using the original reddit app. The people that used sync, Apollo or reddit is fun were mad.

      The official app, not the original. The 3rd parry app scene did well because reddit didnt offer anything official until really late.

        They also bought Alien blue, which was a 3pa. And then drove it into the ground to replace it with what they have now. fuck Spez

        either way, I moved because there is 0 reason to be doing this but money, and because without sync I’m not interested!

      Or infinity, thats what caused me to leave. Losing Infinity on top of seeing just what reddit admins thought of the community as a whole made me leave.
