Yeah it really was pathetic.
Like they took a stand while it was cool, but then capitulated rather than face removal.
It was wild how spineless most of them were when the API stuff happened, and it showed how attached they are to their little bubble of power.
Some of them were even more pathetic by virtue signaling.
Like the r/de mods allowed memes for a full week in “protest”. Yeah… they sure showed spez with that one…

I was proud of them for those subreddit blackouts, but when communities started to come back online after the mods were threatened with replacement - I knew I had to get out of there for good.

I managed to stave off the threats until a couple of months ago since someone put a reddit request in. Oh well, fuck spez and reddit.

You have my respect. I’m guessing all the mods with a tad of integrity left during this time, leaving their subreddits closed

Over half of us in r/Android left and while a few of headed over here and made our very own instance, some stopped on and, I paraphrase
Brave fucker that mod.
