I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
What do you mean by a nightmare just to get an upvote to stick?
Maybe they mean specific to Kbin where currently only boosts raise your score (and most people will boost rarely) so it’s a lot easier to lose score (even from 1 reduce on a favored comment, 1000 papercuts).
