Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

They're going to do a ridiculous price that is technically lower, but is still highway robbery.... You just wait.

I think even that is generous, I doubt they will even bother responding

It seems like this is the only way that Reddit can slow the rise of the Fediverse to me. All of their official access channels (web/official app) pale in comparison to the usability of third party apps.

im confused why people a. think spez had enough control to make these decisions. b. that killing the 3rd party apps wasnt the point.

almost zero notice, exorbitant costs for stripped access...

there was never going to be a compromise. 'they' want to wall their garden, and thats all she wrote

I don't think they're in denial. I think they're just hoping to save their community.

I think some of their communities are still in denial. That there's a deadline of 6/29 for Reddit to make a response is a hint that the mods may come back on the 30th and say, "Reddit's not changing their stance. We're setting up a new community on X. "
