Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'll bet $50 this is because they plan on pulling the plug on old reddit soon, and don't want to allow the inevitable protests.
Few enough people use it i doubt they'll do that.
The og reddit api (is that the term?) that came before old.reddit still works too(can't remember what it is off the top)Few enough people use it i doubt they’ll do that.
I was going to suggest otherwise, but after checking the viewing stats on r/linuxhardware, out of 193k unique views in July, 7,300 were from old.reddit, which accounts for 2.8%, and that kinda blows my mind. Just a couple years ago the numbers were much higher.
The views on that sub have increased a lot over the last year, but engagement is the same or lower, so I heavily suspect a lot of the views there are just bots inflating the numbers.
They killed i.reddit.com after the APIcalypse, so I wouldn't be so sure.
Did they finally? That's the one i was thinking of so guess you're probably right.
Oh well phew hahaha not my prob no mo
