    They’ve already shown their hand, so why should anyone trust them again even if they did backtrack? They’ve proven they don’t care about us and are willing to go back on their words if it benefits them. I don’t see any restoration of community faith in Reddit’s administration.

      Because 90% of their users don’t care about APIs or 3rd party apps, they just want the content however reddit makes them consume it.

        This is correct. Most people I’ve spoken with are still willing to stick it out with reddit. The communities don’t really exist elsewhere, and it’s fun to scroll through a big thread with 1k comments sometimes. Something like r/NBA can’t just pop up here or anywhere else. RSS + Lemmy is what I’m trying for the time being so we will see.
