r/dogs should join other major subreddit in a blackout protesting Reddit's upcoming API changes. What do you think?

@eront Lmao that’s crazy their official product is driving away the people who literally keep communities running I’m so surprised /s

That’s actually super fucked up about accessibility and we cannot even get a guarantee that will meaningfully fixed either.

@kamm Thank you for explaining this. How dastardly and uncaring of them to do this for the almighty dollar

@kamm Dude I was completely unaware that 3rd party Reddit browsing apps existed at all. I thought the only way to browse was through the website or app.

 

[kamm]

@tryingnottofall Same!! And now I’ll never know the beauty of it ig

@snudge27 This template has a good write up. You can also check any of the pinned posts from the subs that have joined. There is a list on r/ModCoord.

@gohusu236 I agree 100%

@gohusu236 I feel like the new API policy is going to shut a lot of blind people, including my big brother, out of Reddit. Idk if that's their goal or what, but this is a poorly thought out decision that ultimately makes the site unusable for people I care about. It's an exclusionary/ableist BS move that kinda tells me like... if Reddit's gonna cut them off, who's going to be next? Also, plainly put, if they make the site something that my blind friends and family can't use, it just makes the site less useful to me.

@imagebeastmarkbeast I’m disabled but had no idea that this would be the result of the policy change — I’ve been really confused the last few days about why so many people are pissed about it so thanks for posting.

 

[wina22]

@gohusu236 Genuinely curious about what's being discussed. Is there consequences for subs that go inactive for a few days?

 

[drita]

@gohusu236 Yup.

 

[rufrankarl]

@gohusu236 Yes!

 

[sweettea]

@gohusu236 Agreed.

And by chance the Mod team sees this, like many others, I use RiF. If RiF goes away, I won't be browsing any subreddits.

 

[finbar]

@gohusu236 Yes.

 

[stepham]

@gohusu236 Agreed

 

[persephone]

@gohusu236 Yes, definitely!

@gohusu236 yes
