I hope that post gets traction. People should be sharing it all over to prove Reddit is being entirely disingenuous. They don’t care about third party apps or accessibility, they immediately made promises they have no ability to keep before their self imposed deadline.

Edit: after considering further I just wish the post organically gained traction. I think Reddit deserves to be shamed for what they are doing, but wouldn’t want it to seem like people are using their community in furtherance of a broader goal.

Unfortunately the protest seems to basically be done. I think Mods should have had a plan to come back but to “quiet quit” and allow communities to go to shit to prove that what they do has value. Plus it would be much harder for Reddit to control that or identify where it’s being done.

Unfortunately it seems there was no real plan beyond the 2 day blackout, which should have been a starting point not a finish line.

I hope more subs do stuff like this, the Steam sub is trying to be about literal steam but the mods don’t seem to be officially endorsing it yet (users are running with it though)

If Reddit is serious about communities moderating themselves they shouldn’t have a problem with subs becoming useless if that’s what the communities decide they want. I feel like it’s going to provide Reddit another way to show that they are liars though.

The person who commented on there about changing the subreddit to discuss literal steam has the right idea.

I don’t think there was a whole lot of forethought other than “third party app users would make us more money if they switched over to the official app”

I don’t get the sense that there was even clear communication within Reddit administration itself given they were assuring devs that they would work with devs and it would be affordable initially.

I joined the TestFlight for Memmy today

I’m only going on there to support stuff like this, at least until Apollo is turned off. Then I’ll mostly be here.

Yeah I think making it so low effort content ruins the sub is good enough without allowing NSFW content. I think generally this is the best way for mods to protest though. Let subs become practically useless when community rules no longer are enforced

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.

They are sending mods messages that they need to open up their subs or they will replace them with mods who will open them.

That kind of work environment is unsurprising given he idolizes Musks Twitter. From what I have heard, in general Musks companies are known to be horrible to work for.

Thank you, this has to be one of the more annoying Reddit conspiracy theories, especially because every year multiple posts with clickbait titles would hit the front page.

I’m currently using Memmy and it’s pretty good for how early in development it is.

There’s also another app called Artemis that’s in development that’s heavily inspired by Apollo. Still in alpha and they are not yet open for testing.

Desantis is truly committed to doing nothing to help Floridians.

The No Labels ticket will only help Trump. Manchin needs to just retire.

I’m baffled as to how anyone would believe any of the public assurances Reddit has made at this point. No one has the ability to hold them accountable to any of their promises so they’ll just quietly never implement them.

Yeah I’ve been enjoying Memmy. Considering how early it is, it works really well.

Yeah i have seen a good amount of “I don’t want to be inconvenienced for third party apps” and that Reddit is already giving assurances that mod tools and accessibility apps are exempted from the changes.

I’m not a mod but I thought a lot of mods use tools built into the third party apps that just aren’t present on the official app. So Reddit saying mod tools are unaffected seems like a promise they don’t have the ability to keep.

I think it’s more likely they’ll use this tech to produce vehicles with physically smaller batteries that can get 400-500 miles of range.

I don’t think the majority of people are in search of something that can go 800 miles without stopping.

I’m not sure about before Apple Card, but one of the bigger draws of Apple Card is financing Apple products with zero interest. Just seems ridiculous that you can’t finance an iPhone using Apples own credit card unless you have service with one of the big 3 carriers. I was also thinking it has to be carriers getting upset people use their Apple Card’s to buy unlocked and bring it to their network avoiding BS fees they charge.
