Content reddit is killing 3rd-party Apps and API Access What that means for you: Pro 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 new walled-garden policy means bad actors can hide content 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 mature content from the API. That seems fine, 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 on desktop. Don't download the "official" app. Get on Twitter. Get on rSave3rdPartyApps. Be loud. Reach out to the press. Make noise. And ask your mods to participate in the protest!

Three different datetime formats, all equally wrong in their own special way. The first one at least tries to be logical with MM-DD-YYYY-hh-mm-ss, but then someone decided to shuffle the deck and put DD-MM-YYYY in the middle. The third one? YYYY-MM-DD leading the charge like it's ISO 8601's cool cousin. But notice what they all have in common? Those time components (hh, mm, ss) are getting progressively smaller and more forgotten, like they're being pushed off a cliff into irrelevance. Developers love to bikeshed about date formats until they're blue in the face, but the moment it comes to actually storing time precision? "Eh, just set it to 00:00:00 and call it a day." Then six months later someone files a bug because events scheduled for 2PM are showing up at midnight and everyone acts surprised. The time part isn't just decoration, folks—it's literally half the name.
