It would be impossible to pick a side in that fight. Like "Joshua" in War Games, I learned the only way to win in that game is not to play. Having quit Reddit maybe 2018/2019 my life is much improved!

I still pay attention to some of the technical subs, like Amateur Radio and Electronics.

I never cared about the Reddit API war.

Reddit has always been a shit hole because it allows subreddit moderators to hold complete, total and arbitrary power over banning members for life.

I couldn't care less whether third party programs can't work on the website

Keep in mind these Redditards didn't have a problem with all the censorship and abuse that's been happening for years. But they suddenly have a problem with some API changes? Really? lol.

Another nail in the coffin, I hope.

    "I'm going to set up my own platform where I work all day for free ... wait, no one would ever do that."

    This is what happened in the great Ellen Pow banning of 2012.

    Everyone thought they were going to tank.

    Reddit kept going after their target demographic, single women.
