Made a account just to post this, all you’re doing is inconveniencing players of warframe, its obvious this is a failed experiment a majority of users aren’t going to sign up for yet another site (especially one most people dont know anything about) just for warframe, and restricting access to the trove of posts on the subreddit and a place for the community to share content is just damaging to the game.

    i get what you are saying, sure its easy enough to copy the functionality, but what isn’t easy to copy is the userbase, reddit isn’t just a venue its a venue people are already going to.

    I personaly have no problems with the official app (i actually didn’t really know about the others until all this) but i get those people who liked the alterative apps feel slighted by the changes, but in this situation i feel like the wants of the many outweigh the wants of the few, I’m not saying this place should be shut down, by all means this place can stay up for those who don’t want to use reddit anymore, but that the two places can co-exist.

      When the mods leave Reddit because they’ve lost the tools they need to do their job (for free), you’ll see how it impacts you directly. You’ll get to see all of the spam and hate speech that they had been dealing with using 3rd party apps and bots.

      The point is that it is still the only platform like it. We have to fight for its quality since its life comes 100% from its users.

      This goes beyond mobile 3rd party applications - the changes kill moderation tools with nothing in return (and Reddit promised for years to make some tools available and still nothing) and were threatening to kill accessibility apps until Reddit gave an exception to the app developed for visually impaired people (but even that one can go up in the air should Reddit change their minds). Bots like reminder bot or video download bot? Goners.

      Dunno if you use discord but if you do, imagine Discord removed bots. Many large servers would legit crumble or require 10x the staff (and if there’s something I can say both Discord servers and subreddits have in common is that not many people want to do the volunteer work).
