The majority, yeah. Users didn't go to third party apps out of spite toward reddit; I doubt too many will have hung around this long in the spirit of some symbolic D-day to stick it to spez.

I think a lot of people are waiting till their preferred app stops working so there’s still a chance.

I feel like I'm in the minority, but I'd be happy going back to reddit if

  • spez started be honest and transparent about his interactions with third party app devs
  • reddit provides incredible moderation APIs immediately
  • reddit stops (allegedly) "undeleting" posts

If that all happens, I'd stop being upset with reddit and instead be understanding of their situation... untill spez did something else stupid and then I'd be upset again

That's kind of the problem though, isn't it? They've shown that they're willing to do whatever they need to make reddit look good to shareholders, the community be damned. That's never going to change regardless of whether Spez or another parasite is the CEO.

That's a good point, though my take is somewhat pointless since there's about a 0% chance spez actually makes it up to the third party devs anyway
