This actually surprises me less than some others, because apparently part of what Reddit's doing involves cutting off the ability for third-party access to mature and NSFW content, which is going to make moderating anywhere that has to watch out for that stuff basically impossible.

That doesn't just affect the porn subreddits (although yeah, obviously), but also any subreddits specifically trying to be completely safe-for-work.
Here's where I out myself as a complete idiot non-reddit user but doesn't reddit have it's own first party mobile app that functions for moderation? Why is having third party access to the website important? I'm not trying to be hostile or defend the decision to cut off the access; I just literally don't understand what the controversy is about and why people are seemingly so upset.

As I understand it, it's because the third-party app is much better than the first-party app, as is often the case.

Yeah, the Reddit mobile app is extremely bad even if your demands are something as minor as 'browsing a little bit', for anything more (especially moderation) it's just not suitable.

The changes to API would also gently caress up automod bots, which are really important if you want to, say, automatically enforce basic rules.

yeah, I tried to use reddits mobile app for a day and it’s genuinely, horrifically bad for a first party app. I’m fine dealing with the mobile UI if I need to google for “literally anything I’m searching for because SEO has wrecked the internet + reddit”.

They're also blocking all NSFW content on the API which would obviously be bad for the porn on the site, but also a huge deal for the groups trying to be specifically SFW due to all the mod tools now getting squeezed out of API access. Same goes for blocking spam and anything else you'd not want to see.

Many people have mentioned the mod tools and such but cutting off third party access ALSO fucks up tools that let people who are blind or have impaired vision use Reddit. A lot of people seem to get mad when you gently caress over the disabled for some reason?

Yeah, gently caress capitalism, gently caress rainbow capitalism*…but I’ll never say no to chuds getting Big Mad about a beer that’s been associated with LGBTQ people since forever? Like are they going to see a Subaru and loving explode? god I hope so

It's pretty impressive how rainbow capitalism manages to piss off everyone.

Right: "There's a rainbow! I will never buy this product again!"

Yeah, what's funny is that you KNOW all the companies doing the rainbow stuff are saying "this will piss off a lot of people but gently caress them". They are not babes in the woods saying "media metrics show that we will gain 4% in online and offline-legacy channels in the 18-45 demo if we do this" and doing shocked-pikachu face when chuds start goose-stepping around their corporate offices. They're doing this because they know they will do that and they're okay with that. Yeah it's all still a soulless calculation but what that calculation is is "we will sell more in the long run by weathering the inevitable boycotts and screeching shitheads and signalling that we would rather stand up to them and support this much bigger market than kowtow to terrorism by a few loonies".

Oh, Twitter, easily. Reddit has the option to just not do the really unpopular thing that nobody likes and they'd stabilize pretty much instantly, while Twitter's been on an unstoppable slide into the pit ever since Elon decided to gently caress up verifications.

Reddit's got at least like, three fuckups left to make until it's Twitter-Level hosed.
