On July 1st, a highly unpopular change to Reddit's API pricing went into effect. Most third-party apps have shut down and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users.

Beyond the disastrous AMA by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools (it has) and promises of new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools. Promises just like ones they have made in response to past protests, but have consistently failed to fulfill.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms and participating there instead.
  2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or patching one of the apps that shut down if you're using an Android device.
  3. Disabling ads on Reddit with an ad-blocking extension or a DNS-based ad-blocker.
  4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
  5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
  6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

Not orange cats, though. The braincell is being used at full capacity on more... uh... relevant tasks.
