Regarding recent events on reddit
In light of recent developments with reddit, I've opened a Lemmy community on sopuli.xyz as a potential replacement for this subreddit. If any of you plan on jumping ship, consider stopping by and saying hello. For those of you who remain here, I personally won't be able to be here after the API changes go into effect, but this subreddit should continue on regardless. Game on friends, for that is what we do.

What did I miss 😳 so many ppl ik been talking about something bad happen but none can give a straight answer
July 1st, reddit is effectively shutting down their API to cut off third party clients. For those of us who exclusively use a third party client to interact with the site, that's an uncrossable line.
There was also a pile of drama with the CEO falsely claiming an app developer blackmailed him and some other crap, but reddit's CEO has always been problematic, so while that's driving more people away, it's hardly new.
Well thank you!! Ya the CEO is a whole story in itself! But the API crap. Well this is gonna be fun can I ask if there is another backup location communities have decided to move to!?
Unfortunately there's little consensus. Lemmy is an open-source federated thing kinda like reddit, so I went there. I think a lot of people are planning on just cutting that much social media from their lives.
Okay thank you!! Good luck!!
