sometimes I'm upset at how apathetic people on reddit are

It blows my mind that r/Apple decided to cave after all of that.

Yeah unfortunately with today's attention span no protest really works

Who cares lol

I've been on reddit for almost a decade and a half. Never have I seen so many users gilding pro corporate reddit/pro spez comments. It is almost always the former. It's very unusual and makes me a tad suspicious. I'm not sure if reddit has evolved into a platform overflowing with users that I truly don't synchronize with, or perhaps reddit is virtually augmenting these posts/comments, increasing bot posts to augment activity, etc. I accept either or and for that and many other reasons I have contently moved on from the platform. It's just not for me anymore and has been fracturing into an environment that lost its luster. Too many common folk have saturated the platform, too many bots, too much corporate shenanigans, too many miserable users, too little civility, too much ignorance and a lack of analytical literacy. The fediverse has given a breath of fresh air and something of nostalgia from the early days of reddit. I do think this is the way forward with time and I'm here for it.

From the fediverse side of things, good. The bootlickers can stay there until the whole thing gets shutter, people with sense can come here.

spez: third party apps are making money off our platform using our data for free!

Mods: .............. Yup.
