What, if anything, could Reddit do (other than rebuke their annihilation of third party apps) to regain your trust and consider going back to their platform?

    I don’t see myself going back. The remaining trust I had in the platform was burned by spez and the executives.

    But setting that aside, what they could do is:

    1. Fire spez.
    2. Come up with a real plan for 3rd party apps with reasonable timelines and costs. (Really late for this though.) Provide 3rd parties access to polls and other parts of the platform that are currently missing from the API.
    3. Actually deliver on moderator tools that they’ve promised for 8 years.
    4. Allow the porn subs to have API access again.
    5. Kick out the hegetsus shit or at least let users block them like they used to be able to do.

      The things you mentioned, along with an apology and reparation to 3rd party apps so that they reopened again would keep reddit as a competitor.

      I unsubbed from 218 subs about a month ago because of how little I was actually enjoying there, but the last 10 or so would be worth a visit.
