a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit apps
just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.
developments to this point:
- Apollo for Reddit is shutting down
- Reddit is Fun will also shut down
- Reddit CEO (/u/spez) is going to hold a AMA about the API update
- Sync has announced it is shutting down
- ReddPlanet has announced it is shutting down
- Reddit creates an API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps
- /r/videos is planning to shut down indefinitely, beginning June 11
- A subreddit dedicated to migrating to kbin.social has been closed by Reddit
The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

I'm out. Redact is busy just now deleting everything under my account.
What's redact?
An app that allows you to remove all your posts from Reddit and other social media accounts.
By chance, do you have a link to it? I've been doing this manually, and it's taking ages.

Check that it stayed deleted. My posts came back after deletion.
