The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

    Oh sure, I guess they won. I haven’t been back, guess they’ll have to eat all the celebration cake without me.

    Jokes on them. I didn’t even care about the API thing.

    Because when the rubber hit the road, none of the mods were willing to blow up their subreddits.

    They should have made an organized move to other platforms like this one. It would have given them leverage against Reddit

    What is it they won exactly? They salted the earth and set the trash heaps on fire. Enjoy it I guess, the Fediverse is a paradise in comparison.

      Yeah in a way it was was a win-win. We all find a community we like more. Reddit maintains an enormous user base. I’ve found I no longer care what they do because I like this place better anyway.
