just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.
developments to this point:
- Apollo for Reddit is shutting down
- Reddit is Fun will also shut down
- Reddit CEO (/u/spez) is going to hold a AMA about the API update
- Sync has announced it is shutting down
- ReddPlanet has announced it is shutting down
- Reddit creates an API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps
- /r/videos is planning to shut down indefinitely, beginning June 11
- A subreddit dedicated to migrating to kbin.social has been closed by Reddit
The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):
other media coverage:
a few communities already have (/r/TropicalWeather) because they can’t run under the new circumstances so it’s very possible we see a much more chaotic wave of blackouts.
I’ve learned so much about weather through r/TropicalWeather over the years so I hope they set up shop out here somewhere.
Did a little searching and found their post on r/ModCoord, they are on Discord now for anyone else who is wondering. https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/144lox0/rtropicalweather_has_been_shut_down_indefinitely
