Most people here are probably already aware of the situation on Reddit. This is a thread to discuss it here.

    The whole API thing is a non-issue to me personally other than the effect on moderators because I never used the apps. Tried Reddit’s app once and found it pretty basic, almost crude, so stayed on the PC Browser side of Reddit.

      I mainly use old.reddit.com on a PC, but this decision tells me that Reddit takes its users for granted, especially the volunteer moderators and content creators who actually make the site valuable enough to attract other visitors. Building communities on top of somebody else’s for-profit walled garden was probably always a mistake.
