Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit
Let the bots take over
It's always been Stormfront 2.0 anyway
Fuck reddit
Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)
What really worked for me was the https://sub.rehab website. When I found that, it made me realize I need to stick with the people who actually built the subs I love -- the mods. Here I am.
I find that a large majority of redditors are still somehow completely clueless about what's happening.
So I made this little formatted summary of events inviting confused redditors to lemmy/kbin if anyone wants to copy/paste; seems to get people to understand.
@OtakuAltair At this point I don't care about redittors or reddit. It can go on to be wildly successful, doesn't matter to me, I've moved on.
Username checks out?
Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.
It will only slow them temporarily you don't need api for bots
Yeah, it'll only kill the useful ones in the long run.
Yeah. The unethical bots will just use scrapers, as they already do for the many websites that don't offer APIs. They're already violating ToS, so they don't care. Ethical ones won't have that option (at least not past the fairly low quota).
Correct. Now the bots will be constantly scraping the pages of every post which will be a much bigger burden on their servers.
I'm eager to see how reddit becomes a steaming turd after June 30th, that imbecile is gonna end up with nothing of value in his hands. Let's see where that profit comes from then
