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 fact that spez just bald-faced lied about what was said in his call with the Apollo dev was a huge red flag for me.

Huh, TIL. Never sat right with me as a bearded man, perfectly capable of lying, but makes sense that its meant to convey “without a face cover.”
even this tiny civil exchange already makes me happy for jumping the boat. (also was always kinda sad for missing out on the early years of reddit; lemmy have no mo fomo)
TIL too! My mother always said bald-faced lie to me as a teenager and so when you corrected it to bold-faced I was like … no that can’t be right. Lol
Bare-arsed*
Bare assed lie… I like it.
No. It’s bald-faced.
