Exactly as the title says, do you guys think Reddit will buckle and at least be more reasonable or maybe even reverse their current decisions?

Edit: if not lemmy to the moon ๐Ÿš€

Sadly no and they don't need to. Users of old.reddit and 3rd party apps are a small minority of reddit users so they won't notice a major drop in traffic.

On the other hand, the percentage of contributors (those who make posts and/or actively comment) who fall into that category is higher. Losing those people will make Reddit a lonely place but that will be a gradual thing.
