Apple-related subreddit /r/apple has gone dark in protest of Reddit’s upcoming API pricing changes affecting third-party Reddit apps. The subreddit is now private, meaning that users can no longer view or submit posts, and the moderators behind the community said it will remain that way for the next 48 hours, or potentially longer if necessary.
This is a big one, one of the biggest tech forums on the web. Between this and a few other subs, my Reddit feed looks quite different right now.
It has…begun!
honestly even if they back down and change the api rules, I’m not eager to go back
Yep, this is a big one. Out of all the subreddits I was following, I missed Apple news the most. Glad it seems to be starting up on lemm.ee now.
@bulbousnub I wonder if lemmy or kbin will get its Apollo equivalent
Mlem is shaping up fairly nicely so far - still a lot of work but has been very usable the last couple of days!
