I haven’t been to Reddit for a few days, I’ve also completely deleted my data and my profile from Reddit, and I don’t want to return.

Are we here to stay? Are you moving back to the Warframe subreddit? Are we moving elsewhere, like the official forum, for example?

Personally, I like Lemmy although I miss being able to use GIFs and directly upload videos, so I’m happy if we decide to stay here.

    The main complaints wasn’t that the API was going to be paid but how much more it cost to use the API vs other APIs like Imgur’s.

    There were devs that had been trying to contact support for +3 months to find out about pricing and Reddit couldn’t bother giving them a response notifying them about the new pricing for their API.

    Then there was the AMA about how the new API was going to work where nothing was answered. I think somone even linked to their API “documentation” and it was just it is just a waitlist, even though it is going live at the end of the month.

    *There was also the response about how the reddit app lacks accessability, and it seemed more like they were scrambling to put something together.

    I don’t believe I read anything about bots having access to the NSFW part of Reddit, so some automated mod tools aren’t going to work there anymore. People will probably notice an increase in onlyfans (or similar type of site) spam bots. Mods of those subs could probably write a bot that scrapes to remove those posts, but I’m pretty sure scraping is against Reddits TOS, and could just get the bot banned.

    Other helpful bots that are community orientation are dead as far as I know, like savevideo/remindme.

    https://youtu.be/99cVnYY9Iqs one reason why new Reddit/app is terrible, especially for anyone dealing with data caps.

    **They also forced r/piracy to be public again, considering that they want to force questionable content like that to be public, they probably aren’t going to bother doing a half decent job replacing mods when forcing other subs to go public.

      that’s their issue. It sounds like an annoying one forsure. But it’s got nothing to do with me, so I don’t care. Let me use reddit.
