Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable....
When the API shut off early, Apollo dev u/iamthatis (@ChristianSelig) revoked his token so I cannot see any of this; but I’m wondering if reddit isn’t pulling a silent reversal of this to stem the bleeding of users and content. There is a lot of useful stuff that has been deleted. The AMA staff resigning and all the stuff migrating to fedi. No matter how much f-u/spez tries to shout “This is fine”; the building is still burning all around him.
Reddit is supposed to block api access to anyone not in a contract with them. This is why all the apps stopped working early yesterday. Reddit had to turn access on to any app that is staying. That is why this is weird. Unless all these apps are in deals with Reddit.
I really hope @christianselig is paying attention to all this. It sounds like his iPad work would directly translate over here and a bit of work would create a fedi app.
As a genX-er, I grew up having to say it through elementary and middle school. I quit participating in the mid ‘80s. We were forced to attend John Birch Society events in school hat would talk about how horrible Russia was and how they fed propaganda to the kids from an early age. Reagan would always talk about all the horrible things USSR would do with their childhood propaganda too. I realized right away that everything the school was doing was the same thing.
I got labeled as a bad kid. Not Christian enough and not obedient enough.
The irony, to me, is that town is liberal now. The surrounding county is super maga but the city is all hippie liberal. But as a child, this Colorado town was Texas red. Don’t spend money on education because we need a better high school football stadium type of town.
Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities...
Exactly! People need to put Reddit to bed over here. Let’s make it about here. Morn yes, but come up with new stuff. Or at least copy the model but make it fedi specific.
3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st (www.reddit.com)

Ordinary redditors are feeling the pain as well. (teddit.adminforge.de)
The protests worked, and so did moving/editing/deleting our old content. As one person complains,...
Boost confirms switching to being a fediverse app after the Reddit app shutdown. (www.reddit.com)
Right now it's going to be for Lemmy, but the fediverse is still getting a fantastic app.
did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school? (kbin.social)
im 20 for reference. ever since i was a kid, up until hs, we were forced every morning to stand, look at the flag and hold our hearts and say:...
banning and defederating communities

I just wanted to leave this here (www.reddit.com)
Yep, this is what the future of awards on Reddit looks like
What would happen if we put a giant glass tinted dome over each city?
In this scenario, we aren’t trapped in the dome. There are openings and doors, so we can get out, cycle in fresh air, etc....
Sat down on my friend's MacBook and broke it, offered to pay her the money for it but now she wants more because "she was upgrading anyway" so it's this or she will sue me in small claims court.
#Reminder : I am not the OP....
What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?
I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why....
