    I understand that, but it does not make my point any less relevant. These morons running around pretending they’re hurting Reddit by not using the native app think they depend on mods and ads. They don’t. They’ll make more by orders of magnitude from profitizing the API. It’s the smart business move, but fucking Reddit communists have no idea how businesses actually operate so they think they’re relevant.

    And in what way, exactly, are the mod tools “inadequate”? Every sub I’ve ever been to has been horrendously over moderated, and has driven off massive percentages of new users. If you can’t figure out how to properly use Reddit without a third-party app, you’re a fucking retard.

    And? Reddit doesn’t give a shit about that. The blackout does nothing to shareholders. Giving away API for free does. They’re going to address one of those issues and it isn’t going to be apologizing or conceding to whiners who can’t conceive of a life without a weird special app for Reddit.

    I’m glad threelonmusketeers made this alternative. I also don’t give a shit about third party apps because I don’t use them. So to me it’s a bunch of idiots who have no idea how a company operates throwing a temper tantrum because ‘muh app’ and ruining something for everyone else.

    The blackout does quite literally zero harm to Reddit. None. It accomplishes less than nothing, and in fact makes their lives easier with less users taking up server space.

    Suggestion - do not add more moderators and rules. Those are the two things that killed both r/SpaceX and r/SpaceXlounge, and the lack of those two things are the reason r/SpaceXmasterrace is unironically the best sub for actual discussion.

    Cool, thanks @threelonmusketeers!

    The Reddit blackouts are mind-bogglingly retarded, and will accomplish literally nothing but helping Reddit in almost every way, but there’s nothing Redditors love more than virtue signaling while pretending they’re actually doing something so this is pretty on brand.

    It’s nice to have an alternative to keep up with Starship. Thanks again.
