It's saying they've gone private. Any idea why?
I didn't know it was a general thing that's why I didn't bother googling
Soon, it will be RedcafeGood riddance. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany than Reddit.
Twitter next please.
Twitter is definitely worse. Instagram can be a cesspit too if your algorithm decides it's going to show you shitty stuff.Good riddance. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany than Reddit.

And this is one of the benefits of third party apps. I have a ton of filters and blocks via Apollo to shut out anything I don’t want to see, it massively improves the user experience and you can tailor it to your own needs. It’s all gone on July 1st.Twitter is definitely worse. Instagram can be a cesspit too if your algorithm decides it's going to show you shitty stuff.
I follow about 20 or so different subs on reddit, and they're all mostly good. I immediately unfollow anything that's remotely toxic, edgy or antagonistic as I just can't be doing with that sort of thing, but I generally don't really see that on anything I follow.
There's definitely some awful stuff on there, since it's basically a megaforum for absolutely anything, but I find it very easily avoidable.

Twitter should be the first. The amount of arbitrary United "fan" accounts that pop in my timeline is ridiculous. The fact that all of them support Qatar and have the same argument ("Where were the journalists during City or Newcastle?") makes me want to puke.Good riddance.

First they came for r/Soccer and I did not speak out, because I am not a redditor..Soon, it will be Redcafe
Is it really though? Third party apps charge money or even subscription fees and block Reddit ads. Nobody wants to see ads but from Reddit's perspective it is understandable it's not a good deal for them, especially considering they're not very profitable. I agree that API fees seem very high but I don't really pretend to know how much they're losing in potential advertising. Probably still a lot.Proper scummy behaviour by Reddit to kill off third party apps
Interestingly caf did find itself in similar circumstances about a decade ago when access to third party app Tapatalk was revoked.Soon, it will be Redcafe
Yes, the rates are extortionate. Nobody says API access has to be free, both app developers and users were willing to pay reasonable rates. The price was set to kill the apps off. The Apollo dev has gone to great lengths to explain everything and the more you read the worse it looks on Reddit. They said he tried to blackmail them for $10m, little did they know he recorded the phone call which proves he did not. They said his app was inefficient, so he published the source code proving it’s highly efficient and makes the most minimal API calls possible to function. Reddit has acted in extremely bad faith. I was reluctantly accepting of the change until all this, it’s disrespectful of the communities that Reddit is built on. It’s nothing without the users.Is it really though?

I use a 3rd party app but don't really care. It's a site to waste time, it's not that serious.
For reference, this is what the caf was like in 2006WanderingEnigma
RedCafe is good, but it hasn't been updated since I first used it in about 2006. It's an old-school forum style that doesn't fill my wants.
Tbf the latest caf design isn't that dissimilar to the old one. Plus the smilies are ancient and the stance on emojis belongs in the dinosaur era.r/soccer's given up
r/reddevils has a poll running and looks like keeping it open will win, and some bozo in the comments think the caf hasn't been updated since 2006
