If reddit allowed 3rd party apps to operate at reasonable prices and charged separately for AI training use so that apps like boost and Apollo could exist I would consider using it. I loved it for the communities, some niche, but I am onboard with Lemmy now and I hope that grows here.

Probably need to open source at least their core software and algorithm. Allow third party app to exist. It would be best if they turn into non-profit, but I am not against for-profit organization.

Probably nothing now that I made the change. I really like the people here. I don't see a bunch of the snark and hate over here and it suits me better. I imagine reddit is gonna go the way of Twitter and Facebook and I just don't want to give any part of my life to that

I don't think reddit is fixable, or actually, the community. The hive mind system fucking sucks, and you can't change that without going 1984

Nothing. I was going to wait until the end of the month, but they've handled everything horribly. I've deleted comments and accounts already.

I'll stay till end of month to witness what happens, then I'm out and nothing can change this

I'll always have some positive feelings for Reddit because I met my husband there, but the whole mentality here is so refreshing. I realize I mainly lurked on Reddit cause you'd get torn apart on subs for being new or not knowing the lingo or making a mistake cause you didn't frequent it every day. Don't think I'm gonna back pedal from the fresh start.

Not ruin the site with pointless features and keep old reddit/third party apps the way they were.

For me, I haven't left yet but I will significantly reduce my time on reddit once my app of choice shuts down (Boost). If reddit updates their app to the standard of the 3rd party apps they are killing, I'll be happy to continue my use. Side note, I've found lemmy (jerboa app use) because of this and will hang around here regardless of what happens with reddit

Get back to 2010 reddit (lightweight website for link aggregation) and stop making downvoted comments invisible. So basically it's not happening

Revert the API change so third party apps stay.

I don't see myself going back, at least when it comes to the app. I like the way RIF looks and would want it to stay looking like that, but I don't think Reddit wants that style as they're trying to make it more social media focused. I will likely still use it on the desktop but I don't spend a lot of time on my desktop outside of work and gaming so wouldn't be that often. I'm likely going to delete most of my comments on there soon

First and foremost, get third party clients working again. I am used to RiF. I tried the official app. It was very busy but showed much less useful information per screen. I could not even even leave it installed on my phone. It kept spamming (shitty) notifications to try to goose my engagement, even after I disabled them.

Anger about bad corporate decisions fades, but if I cannot comfortably use a site, I cannot come back.

I'm not sure honestly. What I'll miss most is honestly the sports banter in the post game threads, and the long comment chains of hilarious takes after a game. But otherwise, I haven't been engaged with Reddit in a long time. All anyone wants to do in the comments is argue, and every post is a karma farmed bot post now. Even if it's less populated I'd rather spend time in a community I actually engage with.

I don't know if I have an answer for that. My most active reddit was my local city sub (r/stlouis) and I spend a lot of time and got a lot of good information from there. It just really bums me out, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this whole deal works here.

I mean, kbin has been better for me in every way. It's been mentioned already, but this whole situation was the push that me and a lot of other users needed to look into alternatives and find something that works better for us than reddit did.
