I wanted to inform you that Boost will stop working after July 1st[.](https://i.imgur.com/KD4pPlL.png) As you know, Redd

The protests worked, and so did moving/editing/deleting our old content. As one person complains,

I’m not here for Reddit, but for the aggregation of niche communities. I follow a lot of obscure manga that have relatively small followings and recently I got into an IT job which opened a lot of technological exploration for me. The worst part about this change isn’t even that we are losing 3rd party apps, but that only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest. Can’t tell you how many times now I’ve looked something up on Reddit and find an answer to the issue I have, only to realize that the community is closed or the post is deleted in protest. Now we are stuck in this limbo where protests seem to have lost their steam, niche communities are being overthrown and killed because of that greedy little pigboy. Seriously, fuck spez.

    I totally hear you that comments like this can feel insensitive of people who have been abused. I’m an abuse survivor so I get where you’re coming from and appreciate your intent.

    What I disagree with is that we shouldn’t make this comparison at all. The same relational dynamics and structures that give rise to mental, emotional, physical, sexual, etc. abuse and exploitation give rise to this behaviour too.

    It’s like the pyramid of rape culture (https://www.11thprincipleconsent.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Rape-Culture-v5.png). The stuff at the bottom isn’t one for one equal to what’s up the top. But the underlying structure and foundations are the same no matter how far up you go.

    The same as any form of abuse, no matter how big or small, is underpinned by the same thought patterns, behaviours, power dynamics, culture, societal attitudes and practices, etc.

    EDIT: removed preview of pyramid so no one gets smacked in the face with unpleasant descriptions scrolling down. Typos.
