Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.

haha, it fell at the last hurdle, so close!
Well, we all saw that coming, didn't we?
So basically, we can now vote out the mods and post what we want on subreddits? And if the new mods don't like what we post, we vote them out too? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Hang on, if we (and by we, I mean those that still have Reddit accounts) will be able to vote out mods, why not demand that we have the ability to vote out the board too? They want more democracy? They should extend that to the whole of the platform. Seems reasonable to me.
Is this a lost Lemming?
In most cases, when the EU passes a law to make something happen, it's cheaper for manufacturers to make that EU-compliant device available worldwide rather than make a specific version just for the EU market. So, I'd expect user-replaceable batteries in flagship smartphones to be available in the US by 2027 also.
Heck, imagine if Reddit didn't charge so much for their API, I'm sure someone would eventually wrap an integration to drag Reddit kicking and screaming into the Fediverse
Just waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren't doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.
I know it's already been posted there, but for more kbin customisations, have a look at the @kbinStyles magazine
I tried to come up with a witty reply, but sadly that's not my forte.
BlackCat announced it would delete the information if Reddit gives it $4.5 million and reverses API price increases.
Now, unlike Christian Selig asking for $10 million to essentially sell Apollo to Reddit, this actually is a threat. Let's see what Steve Huffman's response to this is...
I wonder how long it'll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.
If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we'll know they're desperate!
That's the solution I've ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.
Either that or submit a pull request to the Kbin project. Unlike Reddit, Kbin is open source.
I don't think anyone has ever said they want the API to remain free, they just want a fairer price model and/or more time to allow existing year-long contracts to be valid. Why the sudden urgency to push out this stupidly high pricing model? The only time-critical event I can think of is Spez's precious IPO, and he's doing a great job at showing potential investors that everything's under control
/s ( <-- are we allowed to use that here?)
