The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as “the official end of the battle,” which seems an overstatement to me, but it’s the certainly the end of the initial phase.

Did Reddit win? Time will tell!

    I’m no big city doctor, but it seems like the people who were strong enough to decide to pack up and leave won.

      Exactly, I’d say we won! Until reddit sat on it’s own nuts I hadn’t even heard of Lemmy and now I’m a happy daily user!
