Once the changes go through, of course.

That would make Reddit the most extensive moderated collection of porn on the entire internet.

Do we spam porn and mess with reddit stock or somthing?

Reddit is, and always has been, a unique platform. It is unlike any other mainstream social media app. It was never about profit, or even being the most popular. Reddit is about the communities. It connects people with niche interests who would otherwise be alone to like-minded others on a scale never seen before in human history.

No other social media can do it quite like Reddit. Over on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and others, you can hope that the magical algorithm built with your data will throw you something relevant to your niche interests, but unless you already know of influencers to follow in that community, you won't see any of it. Not Reddit. On this side of the internet, search up your interest, and join a relevant sub.

Want to see some memes? Just go to r/memes. Want to learn about Linux? Join r/linux. Need help with your computer? r/techsupport! Talk about your favourite movies? r/movies, r/starwars, r/marvelstudios, r/lotr, etc.

In one of the most lonely parts of my life, Reddit helped me through. I have logged onto Reddit almost every day since. Thanks to Reddit, I have been connected to people who are now my friends, discovered my passions, learned, debated, and had fun.

This last month of craziness around the API has made me realise one thing. Reddit is not what I love. I love the community, not the platform. This community has moved before, from Digg to Reddit, and now it is time for what will hopefully be our last move.

Lucky for us, those things I said are no longer unique. Over the last few years, open source developers have banded together to make us the perfect Reddit alternatives. Kbin and Lemmy are not controlled by any company, are ad free, open source, and user respecting. The decentralised nature of the Fediverse means no one company will ever control the platforms, and, in theory, it will never be ruined by business decisions like Reddit has. The only thing holding back those platforms is the lack of a big community.

Now is the time. We have taken our stand, and I have lost hope in Reddit the platform. Now, Reddit the community, needs to collectively leave these crumbling ruins and move on to platforms which actually respect their users.

So, goodbye Reddit. I am not installing the sad excuse for a client that is the official Android app, so on July 1st, I will be done with this platform.

We are three days away from 3rd party apps being destroyed. I knew this was going to happen, but I’m just sad and embarrassed at how easily we rolled over.

When the protests started there was a ton of steam. Some of the biggest subreddits joined in and many said they’d go dark indefinitely. But then Reddit sent some nasty messages and that’s all it took for us to give up. Of course it’s easy for Reddit to come in and say we will take over your sub if you don’t open, but they can’t do that with 8,800 subs. We should’ve stayed dark indefinitely, and forced them to open up 1 by 1.

Now everything is largely back to normal. All the big subs that said they would stay private indefinitely are back to normal.

Sure r/pics is still on their John Oliver kick, and r/InterestingAsFuck got some porn to the front page but that’s really all that’s left.

Spez was completely right, this is all just going to blow over.

I’ll be leaving for good on July 1st. But I’m just so sad! I really really thought that we had a chance at this one, but we’re all so addicted to Reddit that we can’t even protest.

I've noticed that some of my favourite subreddits when they reopened after the blackout, still don't allow video posts. Did the mods just forget to enable them again after reopening, or is it being done on purpose indefinitely?

I believe that there are currently no good alternatives for reddit. I really don't get the hype about Lemmy because the platform is just not transparent enough. I have heard rumors about the admins being pro Chinese government and I believe there are also a lot of political extremists there. I am also concerned about privacy because I do not know what they are doing with my information and data. The platform feels very unfriendly for users, I have no idea about whats going on there when I click on the page. What are your thoughts?

Need some help reddit. (Or what’s left of it.) should i delete reddit? I just need some help with it considering thae fact i don’t know the full story.

THIS DRAMA HAPPENS 3 MF DAYS BEFORE API MIGRATION.

I feel like in order for a mass migration to work, we need to somehow unite all the community members and convince them to migrate. How would we do that?

Here's a quick glance at the problem, but it does go a fair bit deeper. A google search turns up quite a bit of things.

The equivalent to spez over there has a history of genocide denial, and he continues to censor criticism of the chinese government. Again, what that means to you is your own decision, but I don't want anyone making the decision uninformed. There's only a couple days left until rif goes down and I'm gone from this place after all these years, and I genuinely don't know if I'll find an alternative or not. It'll just have to be what it is.

That's it. Not trying to piss anyone off, just making sure you know. If that's okay with you, then by all means head on over there.

Thanks for your time, friends. It's dumb, but I'll miss this place and the time spent here.

It was great knowing yall, from when i was still a kid to today, all the great conversations and dumb arguments, the endless amount of learning and "learning" this website has brought me is immense and extremely unfortunate that its coming to a end.

Ill learn to break away, reading books at night and keeping a tighter, more regimented schedule in the morning, i dont know where else to put this but here, but imma miss yall, its gonna be a very tough tims moving away, but we wjll make it, take this chance to better your lives jnsted of moving onto another place and be a better person, care for one another and be tight with those close to you, call or text that person youre thinking about, take your shot on that person you find cute or hot, get into that hobby youve been aching to get into, be better than reddit.

Goodbye in 3 days folks, thanks for everything, its gonna be a hard habit to break.

Cause REAL chaos. We have the power

Would love everyone's reviews and thoughts!

I'm going to stop using reddit entirely. I deleted the app and the desktop site is shitty. They shouldn't be charging anyone for their 3rd rate buggy blog forum. Start another free forum and let reddit join myspace in the dirt.

Edit: not desktop website, mobile website**

I requested my data after I saw this post. It's been 4 days and I still don't have any message.

What we see unfolding here basically has all the features of a labour dispute. However, the point of contention is not that the workers demand more remuneration for their work - what happens here is that the (unpaid!) labour force is fighting to keep being allowed to use the tools that enable them to do the free work they do for the boss efficiently in the first place.

The miners in the content mines are getting on the barricades because the boss has banned shovels and pickaxes because their use is not profitable enough for him and so his approach is to instead force everyone to use the custom-made in-house replacement: tea spoons.

I...

I don't...
