I just wanted to post real quick about what\u2019s going on with Reddit. You can catchup here: API pricing protests caused Reddit to crash for 3 hours | Ars Technica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all the faults of Reddit and there are quite a few1<\/a><\/sup>, Reddit was one of the first places I discovered where my weird brain wasn\u2019t unique. It would go on to be a place I would read about weird encounters, stories behind the news, and where some app developers would use to cultivate a community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example that I will always remember is the subreddit \u201cmisreadsprites\u201d (I\u2019m not going to link you in support of the protest). It is a subreddit about pixel art in older games and how it basically was up to some level of interpretation by the viewer2<\/a><\/sup> and could be misinterpreted. And there was one post in particular that I was like, wait\u2026 I\u2019m not the only one out there. It\u2019s was reassuring in the weirdest way I don\u2019t think I can express. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond this, I think Reddit is one of the places where anonymity worked for the most part depending on the community\/subreddit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am disappointed that Reddit seems to be going the route of Twitter. Oddly enough I\u2019ve paid for Reddit and I will be discontinuing my subscription if they disable third party apps. Apollo in particular made using that site much more palatable than any native app or website. I understand they need to be profitable, but I suppose the exodus of Twitter has prepared me for the inevitable. Interoperability and the open web are ideals to be sought after now because in a decade or so, they will probably be no longer a concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
