Because we shut it down.
After 15 years of using Reddit, I was finally getting comfortable with Boost.
I knew this time would come, because corporations got to corporate… but it’s still annoying.
I hope enough people come over to give Lemmy critical mass.
Knew this was coming, so hopped over here for an alternative. Have had a bunch of communities been following for a couple years. I hope this takes off, love seeing all the different opinions people have on topics. This is my first post!
It’s apparent that the Reddit CEO doesn’t appreciate that most of their content is produced by users and moderated by unpaid mods. I fully think Reddit deserves to be paid for API usage somehow, but stubbornly asking 24 cents per 1000 requests is ridiculous.
I totally agree with you, I don’t see any reason Reddit shouldn’t get paid for the usage of their API, but this draconian policy, along with all the other awful things they’re doing to their userbase just makes it not worth supporting anymore. If there was some sort of negotiation or some form of compromise then at least there might be hope for the platform.
I only want to use third party apps to browse reddit, infinity is awesome. Also I read that reddit is trying to force people to use their app by blocking them from accessing reddit on their mobile browser. Fuck 'em.
Yeah that change to block people from using the mobile website is just evil.
Baconreader or bust
Hell yeah brother!
