Now that I got the instance switched over to the better domain, I can share this.
Bye reddit you will not be missed
Literally picked the perfect time to launch this instance.
What is the source for this? Who is this demmian person?
Private mod Discord that someone has infiltrated. Most of it is also confirmed here if you want a mostly first-party source: https://lr.burger.rodeo/r/ModCoord/comments/143rk5p/reddit_held_a_call_today_with_some_developers/
Key takeaways:
Third-party apps cannot monetize but they still have to pay the same price for their API.
NSFW content is a regulatory issue internationally, but they pinkie swear they will keep it.
They are under pressure from lawmakers. Whatever that means…
Mods aren’t getting permabanned for doing the blackout protest. But through weasel words are being told to get in line.
Thanks for the recap! My reading was that third party apps can’t monetize through ads but can through user subscriptions?
Whoops. I must’ve missed it. I skimmed this really fast a bit after I got the instance migrated over to the new domain. I had quite a bit of trouble with it and by the time I was finished, my brain was swiss cheese.
Thanks for pointing that out.
