I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit pulls an insta and starts hiding its content behind an account wall.

It's already what they are trying to do on mobile (first with NSFW content, but they blocked the old mobile interface...)

They're going to block NSFW for apps that use their new paid API too, last I heard. Which makes no sense but there you go. >.>

And yeah I suspect old reddit's days are numbered on desktop too.

Yes, removing NSFW from API was part of the initial announcement.

Today during the AMA, somebody asked about it and the CEO's reply was that because NSFW carries potential legal risk it was pulled from the API but would still be on reddit itself. Which is an answer that makes absolutely no sense.

Pretty clear the real intention was to make sure any apps that didn't die from being priced out would be lacking the horny content that brings people to the site.

I tried looking at comments on a post about Apollo and it wouldn’t let me load more comments without logging in. Guess I just won’t see them since I no longer have an account.

What a shame, end if an era. I'm right there with ya
