The subreddit has been set to private for the 12th-14th of this month in the protest against the API changes and how they were implemented.
These changes are going to make 3rd party apps unviable and will negatively impact the user experience of many users that use these apps to access the site. Of non desktop users (around 50%) over 70% of the users are accessing the sub through non 1st party apps. This means a large portion of the users of the KiA sub are going to be negatively affected.
While most people can understand the requirement to update API charges with the increased use of LLM's that scrape sites like reddit for data to build their models the way that these API changes have been implemented has been in a way that will negatively impact the users.
You people are retards. Let that site die already.
No one cares.
So is it back up? I hope not, I want to continue a permanent quitting of reddit entirely at this point, the website has gotten too toxic and even somewhat neutral grounds in it have been completely wasted away.
Yeah its back up. I'd still recommend quitting reddit though
I'm way ahead of you, already did. Did you guys at least point here in the private community message?
No, if we want people to come here we actually need to put effort in here and it's obvious that hasn't happened. We need to do a bit of work cleaning things up here first before sending people here
Need an alternative platform asap anyway. Why not here? So far it totally looks like reddit. How is the censorship situation on this site?
Its looser there isn't any trans topic ban crap, and we don't have to remove "offensive" words like retard that seem to get up reddits craw.
FYI: The communication has been that all the bots and moderation tools that are used on the site will be unaffected and have whitelisted things like the bots that autoban people for participating on our sub.
I forgot about the lifeboat, I think we should be encouraging people to come here rather than using Reddit. Since at least then we don't have to deal with the dumb as shit Reddit janny admins ever changing ruleset.
