I dislike the current direction Reddit is going with their focus on business, preparing for IPO, constantly making the new Reddit app and website shittier, stuffing ads in more places (luckily I don’t use the official app) and removing useful ones (compact mode, pushshift).
If Reddit API access for 3rd party applications goes away as I’ve heard might happen in June, I’m dropping Reddit pretty much completely. There was a lot I liked about Reddit but this is a deal-breaker; I’m not using their broken, buggy, ad-filled, data-sucking app.
July 1st, I saw the Apollo App thread. I suppose following in Imgur’s footsteps, sexually explicit content seems to be going for sure. The other feature changes also seem to be specifically targeted to kill 3rd party apps. Maybe some apps can be reconfigured to allow inputting individual API keys per user, because Reddit is making the excuse that 3rd party app API keys are making too many requests (without accounting for the amount of requests per user)
Well, I guess I have a month to convince ppl on Reddit to join Lemmy.

I’m sure you’ve heard but well, it’s happening.
