I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.
Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?
If you had asked me one week ago, I guess the answer would have been a yes. With the way Reddit and its CEO behaved the last few days, right now you would need to pay me to used Reddit again. Fingers crossed the feediverse will keep enough users to make it a real alternative for lots of people.
