    This is fucking hilarious!

    Imagine the conversation;

    “Okay so what’s the situation?”

    “Sir we lost most of the devs and tech savvy people”

    “Shit that’s bad. What else”

    “Lot of unpaid volunteers that moderated the most popular subreddits left too!”

    “What the fuck! This is bad. Really bad. What else?”

    “Powerusers that created and shared content left too. We have significantly less upvote count on posts of /r/all!”

    “Fuck! We need a plan! Let’s make people forget we cannot operate a website. What can we do?”

    “Well /r/place has always been successful in the past. We’ve had great results with this”

    “You are a genius! This is perfect! They will forget we fucked them over and this whole fiasco will be swept under the rug and we can finally move forward!”

    /r/place :

        Sorry I meant the devs that used the API to creates 3rd party apps, fun subreddits bots & RES style addons. Basically the people that made Reddit what it was. At least, the ones I know joined the fediverse and haven’t logged back into their reddit account since July 1st or before!

      We have significantly less upvote count on posts of /r/all!

      Is that actually true? Sounds too good to be true, and the statistics I’ve seen so far don’t support it (been a couple of weeks, though).

        For me it was Boost (also Joey, but for a much shorter time). Jerboa works fine I guess but I’m really looking forward to the release of Boost for Lemmy.

      Hell yeah it was. I deleted my 13 year old account the day they disable its API access.

      It’s because half of them would rather have a pot leaf. It’s one of my favorite things from the last Place event.

    Sync was the balls. Smooth as butter, great layout, no adds, it was the reason I stayed on reddit for so long. He making one for Lemmy and I can’t wait.
