      Yes haha. Constantly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re happy to be rid of the type of user who would move to the fediverse anyway. Maybe that was their plan all along.

      Yep, and was proud to - let me support Reddit and good contributors.

      I wonder if the exodus of people like myself brought this on - the drop in awards given may have been significant indicator or less engagement, so needed to muddy the waters?

        Yeah, I bought gold a few times. I had no problem with “this content was so good it inspired me to give back a little to the free service we’re all using.”

        I wouldn’t mind some equivalent for the fediverse honestly. Let me donate to the home server of a user who’s comment I thought was especially good.

        I know you can donate directly, but I do think there was something about also making another user’s day that felt good about the Gold system. The service gets some fuel in the tank and the comment author gets a little boost to their mood. It was nice.

        I agree it got way too out of hand when they moved beyond Gold though.

      Yeah the same that buy skins in games

      But honestly, good. It’s those people that keep the stuff free for the others
