These “protests” strike me as strange. Ostensibly, everyone’s goal is for Reddit to reverse their decision. However, I can’t help but think many users want to quit Reddit, and this is the straw that is breaking the camel’s back.
That said, I have a tendency to filter a fair bit to avoid the major problems but there's going to be some news that I should hear but is not good news either.
I had a chat the other day with a friend. He's deleted the app as he's been on it quite heavily and needed a break. It's certainly something I've heard out of some people. Meanwhile, there's others looking for where the migration is going, assuming a Digg to Reddit type migration.
