reddit 3rd party apps

Published June 5, 2023 at 619 × 2560 in reddit 3rd party apps
reddit is killing 3rd-party Apps and API Access What that means for you: Apollo Boost Reddit is Fun Sync Relay Infinity Reader Narwhal for Reddit Do you recognize a logo here? That app is about to be shut down. Do you or a fellow redditor have vision problems? The official app doesn't focus on accessibility Visually impaired users depend on 3rd-party apps & captioners to use Reddit, at all. HOPE YOU LIKE SPAM! Because you're gonna see a lot more of it The mods on your favorite sub use bots to fight spam, caption images, and run their community. Despite promises, the current plan looks to kill many bots, especially those that are used the most! Did you know? Moderating a typical sub takes hours of volunteer work a day even using 3rd-party bots; Without them, it will be impossible. And if you don't like spam, don't worry loads of porn-bots, scammers & creeps LOVE IT! If mods can't detect mature content in 3rd-party apps & tools, it'll be easier than ever for them to sneak into your favorite community. Reddit's walled-garden approach means bad actors can hide any content they want from mods, simply by posting it in a mature space. Let's not mince words: this will make it easier for scammers & child sexual abuse rings to hide their activity on Reddit. TL;DR: What's actually changing? Reddit is changing the terms of their API, which lets apps and bots read and interact with reddit. Reddit is enforcing limits on how often apps can talk to reddit. They are charging a predatory amount for apps that go over the limit. Rough math puts them at 10-20x the cost of similar services (eg. Imgur). Developers only have 30 days to pay up or shut down. They are also removing NSFW content from the API. That seems nice, but it makes it much easier for scammers and creeps to hide their activities from SW community mods. In protest, a collective of subreddits are staging a shutdown starting June 12 and continuing until more reasonable terms are offered. How can I help? Contact the admins. Stop browsing. Don't download the "official" app. Get on Twitter. Get on r/Save3rdPartyApps/. Be loud. Reach out to the press. Make noise.

  • Book & Kindle displaying cover: As our heroes fight the hydra, we see just some of the variety of symptoms represented in this book. The paladin has a prosthetic arm to assist with their amputation. The barbarian rages from their wheelchair, providing mobility for their paralyzed legs. The ranger, whose body is more accustomed to an aquatic environment just as someone in the real world may be more comfortable in a quieter or darker sensory environment, finds ways to compensate and keep fighting. The wizard’s vitiligo may not be thought of as a disability, nor should it be, yet many in the real world experience severe discrimination due to unusual skin pigment — how many celebrities, corporate executives, or politicians do you know with visibly irregular skin?

A note on language: I am aware that terminology is important when discussing disability; no community is homogenous, and I am aware that, in the debate between people who prefer identity-first or person-first language, there is an obvious access clash. Since this is currently unavoidable without being less than ideal for someone, I have decided to alternate the two approaches in my writing.
