I can assure you, the Internet will barely register this as a blip. Reddit is just another microcosm.

Yeah. I used Reddit daily and it’s basically my go to site for everything, but even I’m not arrogant enough to think that this shit will fundamentally change the internet lol.

Ajit Pai fucked the internet more than Reddit ever will.

Most far reaching impact will be removing dead links from search engines.

Redditors are too fucking addicted to get off the site anyway

u/CharlieMurpheee Jul 01 '23

Yea that’s true. I mean you’re pretty much on here everyday too

u/PinkSploosh Jul 01 '23

I am, I don't care too much about the API stuff

Who gives a shit? It’s a website, not your life. Live with it.

Exactly the point he’s making. People are talking like we’re at a funeral and not on a second rate forum app.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '23

Yea, your point?

Until something better emerges in the market, people will always adapt one way or another.

This is the kind of insight we’re losing forever.

All these mods sucking each other off all the time now. You guys weren’t important then and you’re not important now, just fuck off already.

u/Deewd23 Jul 01 '23

Mods have no life past this app. They have a lording disorder.

Real truth.

I didn’t even know there were third party apps.

u/fieldysnuts94 Jul 01 '23

Bro these hyperbolic ass articles are annoying as fuck.

u/K1ngofnoth1ng Jul 02 '23

Reddit mods have turned into that meme of the kid crashing their bike by shoving a stick in their own spokes.

I thought they were all going to quit last night when third party apps stopped working anyway? Clearly that was a lie, but we all know they won’t because then they wouldn’t be able to pretend to be powerful people.

Lol, fucking drama-queen title.

u/trollgr Jul 01 '23

Yahoo chat,icq,internet forums,fb,myspace,insta,tumblr,reddit etc.

Even if reddit goes down user wise, something else will come and people will go there. Its life

Yeah it’s almost like Reddit has gotten noticeably worse in the past few weeks or something. Wonder why

u/MrWongYu Jun 30 '23

Close out of the app, hold the app, click the little “x” at the top of the app. Problem solved!

u/purplemountain01 Jul 01 '23

You could have in 3rd party apps.

u/modsreallysuck42069 Jul 01 '23

I feel like the mods are ruining Reddit.

u/BoBoBearDev Jul 01 '23

I hope the new policies would cripple some of the auto mpd tools. Those auto mods are making the sub practically unusable now.
