Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    Same here. The day boost went down I moved here. And so far, even though I miss some communities, the overall quality of the posts is much higher. I can’t wait for boost lemmy app to come out.

      Replace Boost with BaconReader, and that was me except I saw rumblings of it before the API change and went ahead and made the move because fuck unfettered capitalism. Even if this doesn’t last, we tried and made a stand and can enjoy the results while it lasts.
