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
The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):
Incredibly sad to see corporate greed takeover. It’s only a matter of time until they remove the old interface. I will definitely stop using Reddit altogether on mobile. It’ll be quite hard for me to stop using it on desktop, but I might just give it all up on June 30th.
They said that they’re keeping old reddit.
But they also told Christian Selig that the API won’t be changing anytime soon…
