The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.

While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.

    This brings up a lot of points I hadn’t even thought of. Bots didn’t even cross my mind when I heard this news. Big yikes.

      Mm, I’m a big fan of Decronym on Reddit, the bot that wanders around demystifying acronyms. There was a post by the bot’s creator yesterday where they covered how many API calls it makes, and how there’s been no clarity on whether there’ll be a free tier of API usage etc.

      It could shut down all the comment bots on the site.
