Subreddits and third-party apps are going dark in response to Reddit’s proposed API changes. It’s the latest front in a labor battle between algorithms and the humans who feed them.

Twitter just locked down, need an account to even view now. Reddit is filled with bots spamming posts from 5 years ago. People are flocking to wall-gardens like discord.
Might be the decline of the internet 🤷
My problem with places like discord is that it is nearly impossible to effectively search for information there. It also regularly seems to me that the servers all have more rules than most subreddits. I don’t want an echo chamber, I want a giant forum with niche little rooms where there can be some resemblance to free-flowing ideas and discussion.
