I think it would be amusing if Reddit did implode over this. It'd be entirely self-inflicted... The site is only usable with third party apps.
@Gargron What third-party apps are being disabled at Reddit?
@SharonGibson3 @Gargron technically they're not being disabled, but they were given a 30 day window to radically revise their businesses and applications (to move to a subscription model) and almost all of them have instead announced that they will cease to function on June 30.
@fencepost @Gargron I didn't know Reddit had 3d-party apps. Are the apps something that moderators and developers use?
@SharonGibson3 @fencepost @Gargron For many years Reddit had no official app and when they created one it was missing hundreds of features and had a less intuitive UI than the apps individuals had created to fill the void and it still does. By consequence most people who joined Reddit any time before the last couple years all use unofficial apps and this was supported by Reddit up until now.
