As much as I would like to boycott it completely, there are still too many big communities there, too much information you can’t reasonably find anywhere else.
I’ve stopped posting and commenting to stop contributing to the problem, and obviously I won’t be using it on mobile, but already before the API shutdown there were many users that were OK with using their official app.
Many mods gave up their protests when reddit applied pressure, instead of e.g. saying “you don’t like NSFW tags without NSFW content? Ok, for compliance, every post needs to contain a picture of an asshole”.
Reddit will probably either take over the remaining communities or let them die. It still has critical mass. It’ll survive, at least for a while, until something better comes along to replace it. I hope Lemmy will be able to do it but I doubt it. Too many rough edges, too many issues around federation and defederation, no critical mass (yet).
