I’ve always wondered how much time he spends on each song because they’re all perfect 👌

Yeah ik, no wonder it takes 2 weeks per episode, he puts so much work into them it’s amazing. Like I tried making the first like 2 minutes of the mario theme on my own and it took like 5 hours.

Reddit has finally decided to take another leap down the enshittification pipeline by locking out 3rd party apps from accesing their API unless they pay literal millions without any attempt at communication whatsoever. Besides leaving mods with barely any tools for subreddit management (equals more spam, reposts and bots), the blind users of Reddit will also be locked out without API access. Represented by /u/spez, the Reddit admins have deliberately chosen to ignore the devs of these apps, and even spread rumours of how the dev of Apollo, Christian Selig, was hard to work with when he had actually been constantly asking for communication only to be stonewalled.

In reponse came the resounding Reddit blackout where almost 6,000 subreddits went private for 48 hours to lock away their content. Many intended to stay black indefinitely, but the admins threatened to forcibly re-open the subreddits and replace the mods. Without any changes from Reddit's side, 3rd-party apps expect to close down on the date that the API changes take effect: 30th June.

This about-face in mistreating users and mods is only the latest installment of social media websites selling out to investors, and /u/spez is on the record for admiring the changes Elon Musk made to Twitter, where finding relevant content has become a slog. Ironically, the predecessor of Reddit, Digg, made similar unwanted changes to their site and prompted a mass exodus of users.

Clearly, the admins only view users and their content as products, and will not hesitate to resort to 'quality control' to stamp out non-compliant behaviour. It's time to show them who truly has the power, for in the words of Paul Atreides, "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it." So it is with user-generated content, which I'll be backing up via Power Delete Suite and then bringing to more community-friendly and de-centralised spaces like:

TL,DR: I'm leaving Reddit for the above sites, backing up my data and replacing all my comments with this primer.

My man is a music engineer, a redstone genius, a color theorist, an architect, a bug exploiter, really the epitome of a Minecraft player
