@Bendersmember Content generation has slowed and from what I can tell, comment participation is way down. Right now, after going through and subscribing to a number of magazines, my kbin feed is more useful and active than reddit ever was, although the audience is clearly smaller (but seriously growing since last week). The quality of the content is better, and it's much easier to filter out the shitposting.

The clearest place to see content drought this is in /r/all - the top posts are all 3 - 15 hours old. Before the blackout, it would refresh in a matter of minutes, not hours.

I’m pretty upset over it but less about the third party apps but more that it feels like part of a larger theme: our open discussion mediums are under consistent errosion. Twitter has become a shitshow, reddit will flounder however it can to monetize users to attract investors, and most people that care about communication at large lack the money or means to provide a fleshed out service.

Reddit is still accessible for most so this change isn’t like on the order of recent Twitter changes, or some of the Facebook shit from like 2015ish. It just feels like these massive communities are both important but also impossible to maintain and preserve properly in the current digital/market landscape

Exactly, just look at twitter.

Some modifications to modmail broke toolbox and the toolbox creators have (mostly) checked out. So that's fun.

Apollo is the only way I have ever used Reddit for all these years. If it's dead it's the same as if Reddit is dead to me. I don't even know my login info and don't have that email anymore.
