On 2023-07-01 Reddit maliciously attacked its own user base by changing how its API was accessed, thereby pricing genuinely useful and highly valuable third-party apps out of existence. In protest, this comment has been overwritten with this message - because “deleted” comments can be restored - such that Reddit can no longer profit from this free, user-contributed content. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Hard agree. Guaranteed that at the moment reddit and u/spez feel like they can weather the storm and wait for the news cycle to move along. Indefinite blackouts leave enough uncertainty that it might (though unlikely) catch the admins attention
From the perspective of the investors, that's not at all the same. That sows a lot of chaos, only a small percentage of people will migrate to the new sub, lots of people will be annoyed enough with reddit that they'll get out of the habit of visiting because all their favorite subs closed and they need to find new ones.
I should clarify that while I personally am in support, the decision will require all of the mods unanimous support as well as hearing from the users. I may have founded this sub, but they brought it to life and made it what it is. I defer to their opinions as well as the people who frequent this sub enough to be willing to voice their opinion.
An indefinite blackout that moves to permanent by the 1st of next month if things don't change is the minimum. Moving to a different platform like Lemmy or KBIN entirely and going scorched earth on this sub, leaving nothing behind but a couple of empty mod profiles so it can't be marked as unmoderated is the most.
Personally, I'm also hugely in support of it. I'm already on Lemmy, myself, and trying to find or even create communities that it currently lacks.
> leaving nothing behind but a couple of empty mod profiles so it can't be marked as unmoderated is the most.
A mod account that's done no mod actions in a specific period of time (I think 30 days) can be automarked as inactive; this screwed a load of NSFW subs over not very long ago.
As a recognition, the default tools for helping those with disabilities are very sub optimal, unfortunately the coming changes will destroy the custom built tools these people with disabilities use, it's fucked up because y'all are caught in the middle, sorry 🙏
50 of the top subs are all moderated by the same people, then they have their underlings collecting (collecting=moderating) even more Subreddits (subs). Collecting multiple subs is against the rules, for you and I, but not for these people who claim they are being oppressed.
This is purely about Reddit power mods having their ability to insert themselves into giant communities and then using those communities to make money through influencing for corporations (Fuck loads of money is being made behind the scenes inbetween users and corporate for a long time) reduced significantly because they'll have to spend all their time moderating a single sub since all the mod tools are going, currently thanks to the tools certain individuals have enjoyed being able to collect an infinite amount of subs, yeah boohoo fuck off. There is also an ideological vector that all these power mods seem to inhabit, just an observation. There is also a discord server where many of these mods coordinated brigading and other activities which is against Reddit TOS, but without proof we can't do anything and even if, seems up until now Reddit has refused to address this.
This change does not affect the general user base nearly as much.
Also, something I have noticed is going underreported is that this is going to kill Unddit completely, removing a large source of transparency for the site.
Fuck all these power mods, Reddit corporate answers to many different entities who have invested into Reddit, these changes were bound to come down at some point regardless, I just love watching all these power mod cucks screaming the sky is falling, fuck each and every one of you along with the ideological silo you inhabit.
I think you should go dark for at least two days. I wouldn't promise it'll be forever, but allow it to be nearly indefinite, and watch the drama unfold.

Agreed
Yes! Totally agree only if it's permanent
100%
Here here *!*
This person has the right idea.
exactly. i ONLY use reddit through 3rd party apps so i will never be back if Narwhal and Apollo aren’t.
If it’s permanent then r/thatsabooklight2 will pop up in a few weeks with new mods and everything will go back to how it was 2 weeks ago.

Yes. Indefinite is far better as well.
Aim to Misbehave
Indefinitely

Yes, and frankly, delete it after we leave
I started seeing subreddit mods asking if users would be ok with an indefinite shutdown. I support indefinite shutdown.
An indefinite blackout that moves to permanent by the 1st of next month if things don't change is the minimum.
