a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit apps - Beehaw

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 [https://beehaw.org/post/467863?scrollToComments=true] - Reddit is Fun will also shut down [https://beehaw.org/post/468731?scrollToComments=true] - Reddit CEO (/u/spez) is going to hold a AMA about the API update [https://beehaw.org/post/468505?scrollToComments=true] - Sync has announced it is shutting down [https://tedd.it/r/redditsync/comments/144jp3w/sync_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023/] - ReddPlanet has announced it is shutting down [https://tedd.it/r/ReddPlanet/comments/144glbz/an_unfortunate_goodbye/] - Reddit creates an API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps [https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752804/reddit-exempt-accessibility-apps-api-pricing-changes]

The active mod team of r/videos has agreed that their shutdown will now be permanent. https://reddit.com/r/videos/comments/145vns0/the_future_of_rvideos/

In a tildes post (I’m riding a lot of horses right now) one of the mods said:

I know this is likely a symbolic gesture because I'm fairly confident reddit will just kick us out and bring the subreddit back up, but after being on the mod team for over a decade its going to be interesting to see how things even function if they decide to take that route.

Likely the last Mod post that I'll make in /r/videos. We're shutting down - ~tech

No way Reddit is going to be able to replace so many mods on so many subs that deal with so many millions of users. They can try, but that doesn't mean it will work.

Yes I was totally blown away when I saw how large that sub is. It’s incredible to see Reddit losing people with that much experience of managing and growing massive communities, but the board’s focus right is only on selling existing content to AI bros so they probably don’t care that much at the moment.

That's why it's important for normal users who leave the site to delete their comments and submission too.

Or for the paranoid, edit then delete 😀
