So maybe a few hundred deluded morons.

Bring on the Zune!

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

As much as I might like her, she will not win. No one likes hearing this, but there are simply too many racist and misogynist voters for her to ever win. Then add the fact that a convicted felon and likely pedophile won against her already.

It’s time to move on from the typical DNC bullshit and get someone who will vow to prosecute every last corrupt piece of shit in this current administration and vow to impeach and remove all corrupt judges and justices, especially those put there by this administration.

The DNC needs to stop fucking around.

And that is the inherent problem – “the dumbing down” as Sagan once wrote.

His criminal lawlessness has invited blowback against the United States and its citizens risking 9/11 2.0.

Seriously? I mean I agree with the sentiment, but putting the words “9/11 2.0” just reeks of amateur and unprofessional writing. If you’re going to write articles of impeachment, don’t sound like a teenager.

Maybe provide a link to an article on the internet instead of a link to a discord chat.

And nothing of value was lost. Same result when this administration will finally be ousted. Same result when Trump dies. Same result when his family and all the MAGA morons fade into obscurity or die. I just hope I’m alive to see it happen and I will drink and dance when this nightmare is finally over.

No, they made the third party app developers pay the license fees, not the users. If they changed that since I left, then that I’m ignorant of. It made zero sense to force payment from the developers and every sense to simply create a two-tiered API where maybe only a read-only front page works (no commenting) unless you’re a paid subscriber to Reddit, which could be available via an authorization scheme on the logged-in user. It’s simple to do. But they decided (at the time) to screw over the third party developers directly by forcing them to pay.

Thing is, even Christian (the guy who made Apollo) said a nominal fee makes sense and he would have been fine paying that, but he would have had to pay literal millions of dollars within like a month’s notice in order to keep going, and have to pass that exorbitant cost onto his users who ALREADY paid him for yearly subscriptions/etc.

Simply put: Reddit should only have charged users directly, via subscription to Reddit, in order to use a fully-featured API irrespective of which client they use it through.

Spez is a greedy piece of garbage.

The only way I’ll ever rejoin Reddit is if they fire that piece of shit, Spez, and every other piece of shit who had a hand in the monetization of their API access which destroyed third party apps like Apollo; and if they change that monetization, either making it free or making it so you have to be a paid Reddit subscriber to have expanded API access.

They did the whole thing with their API completely backwards, on purpose, to shut out the third party apps – when they could have still been able to make money by doing it properly and not alienating a lot of their userbase.

And now that Reddit is effectively a right-wing cesspool of lies and bullshit, just like Twitter has become, even if they fix what they broke, it may not be worth rejoining.
