I get invalid CSFR Token constantly and only diving deep into browser settings to clear site data, then clicking the login page again (not just refreshing it) works now. I used to be able to get past it sometimes without doing all that but now I need it every time, and I'm often logged out after an hour or so.
If by won you mean cause controversy, drive away some users, and allienate most of those staying than Mission Accomplished. Nothing positive happened for Reddit out of this.
Really? Reddit retained about 98% of its users and gained full control of the app market. I’d call that a success for them. They got exactly what they wanted.
They solidified the establishment of competing services (kbin, Lemmy). Many of us would've never even considered using them otherwise. It may not have hurt them a ton in the short term, but they've helped set up their competition.
The users aren’t the value in reddit, it’s the content creators and savvy community members that respond to questions and leave useful content in their own right. Reddit lost a number of those, and those users are forming the nucleus of their demise.
I'd also say the brand reputation has taken a pretty decent hit with their awful handling of the situation. With an upcoming IPO you think they would have handled it carefully but they just seemingly YOLO'd it
Reddit was always going to rebound eventually, it's got a massive userbase and can pull through a fair number of people leaving. I'm pretty happy with the amount of free time I've won back since I've stopped doom scrolling Reddit.
Pretty keen to see how the fediverse improves over time.
I’ll still likely get answers to questions by including “Reddit” in my search engine searches, but for general community posting consumption I’ve been really pleased with Lemmy. I haven’t missed Reddit and avoiding ads is 100% worth it for me. It feels like using Gimp instead of Photoshop.
I tend to agree with the sentiment here that we are all the winners for having discovered and are still using kbin, a platform that most wouldn't have even known about before Reddit's shenanigans. Though, I want to point out that total user activity on kbin is down 7,000 people since about 10 days ago...
It seems people are either going back, or are abandoning for Lemmy because of their abundance of mobile apps. Artemis is a decent kbin app, and is almost ready to release for public beta now that the API is complete (just waiting on integration) - though I fear it needs to happen sooner than later if we are to retain the userbase.
Yeah. that is probably true for many since we all came looking for an alternative due to the loss of our mobile app... Lemmy is a little more mature since it's been around a lot longer, so it already had an API to build on. @Rideranton has been working on an API and has several pending pull requests to implement one. I truly believe kbin is a better software so I'm hoping that the API sparks more dev interest.
Artemis is now available (Play Store link), but I completely agree that the lack of maturity in apps make Kbin a less compelling offer. It's still my usualy way to browse from my desktop though.
Is it over? I mean, reddit definitely got what they wanted. Bootlicking power mods got control of more subreddits, bots are running rampant and pumping up the numbers, and the API change went through with a couple people willing to pay the exorbitant cost.
But the quality of content has dropped dramatically and I've seen a lot of people take notice. It's constant reposts, one popular post will hit like 5-10 subs at the same time. And it's mostly rate me shit and fake aita type posts. Reddit being boring will kill permanently, no protest needed.
Kbin does log me out once or twice weekly for no known reason, but I have no difficulties logging in again. You say you've cleared site data — cache and cookie? If you've tried it twice and it hasn't worked, time to open a ticket with the help desk (admins).
