Subreddits and third-party apps are going dark in response to Reddit’s proposed API changes. It’s the latest front in a labor battle between algorithms and the humans who feed them.

      I for one am okay they didn’t mention Fediverse. Why advertise it; let the community grow without a lot of fanfare. The Verge is covering it already.

      In all likelihood, the fediverse will not take off like people think it will. It’s just slightly too complicated for the average person to instantly give a chance. I don’t see any real reason to bring it up in an article like this.

        This is my thinking as well. I’m here from reddit after shutting Apollo down but even now I’m still wondering what the hell is going on.
        Lemmy seems to be in all the feeds but seems a one way street.
        I’ve added magazines but I’m still lost. Maybe a few months I’ve figured it but I could easily see people says nah not for me.

      Their parent company has an ownership stake in Reddit. I’m surprised they have been allowed to be as critical as they have been.
