Reddit is planning to make some changes under the hood that will essentially kill off every third-party app that readers use to engage with the site’s communities. Anyone in support or against Reddit's madness?
Reddit Communities going dark to protest changes
- Thread starter Demon_Skeith
- Start date
I wonder if forums and other social networks will rise in popularity from Reddit users who are unhappy with Reddit making changes which will kill most third-party app for Reddit.
If the moderation is bad then this should go perfectly downhill. Anyways I bet people love those scummy subreddits like Antiwork or worse.
I think the sub reddits are turned off, so no mods needed.
It's going to be annoying because I use it every day but I support the decision. The mods of a lot of subreddits use third-party apps to help with their tasks and it's going to cause a lot of problems if they can't use them anymore
Looks like lots of reddit are going dark.
Reddit CEO made a comment saying he isn't moved by all the reddits going dark and feels this will pass.
I wonder if currently open reddits like r/news and r/worldnews are getting more active users because many other sub-Reddit are set to private during the protest.
Not many internet protests are usually successful
Not when they give up after a few days, need to learn from actual strike picket lines.
That's basically the problem, most online protests are conducted by slactivists who talk a big game but don't follow through.
I had liked Reddit many years ago but they have changed. I don't believe they are moderated as well as they should be. & I do agree with others. Sometimes they protest but it's a day or two, expecting quick changes. Not realizing true protesting can take sometimes months!
