Holy. The people in the comments of those posts are completely insufferable. I haven't seen this much concentrated idiocy in one place in a while, and I've been on reddit for close to a decade.
Don't pay attention to these pricks, OP. All the interesting people are leaving reddit even now, and all that's left are the wretches who made that site a terrible place to be even long before the API controversy. It's not worth even trying to invite these people here. They'd only make the fediverse worse with their presence.
