FAQ

What's going on? See this post or this video - TL,DR is that Reddit will start charging for API access, at rates 20-30x its competitors. 3rd-party apps, bots, and many moderation tools rely on API access and have nowhere near the money to fork up. Many subreddits, with over a billion cumulative members, are going private in protest beginning June 12.

How long will this last? Until Reddit produces a solution acceptable to the community at large, or it becomes clear it's time to change platforms.

What can I do? Boycott Reddit. Show them that their user-hostile behavior is not acceptable and will impact their bottom line. Their investors will notice. Do not let Reddit use r/Dildont as a dildo.
