Slightly amusing because most of the active users are perhaps AI powered bots now, run by Reddit.
If that is the case, then it seems to me that this is a repeat of the locking out of third parties, similar to the api change two years ago, but now for those that use bots?
Grammar edit
It most certainly won't apply to their own bots.
Bet this backfires on them.
I bet there's already backlash from their "don't upvote" rule. They'll be hemorrhaging users like xitter soon.
What "don't upvote" rule?
If you up vote anything about Luigi Mangione they will permanently ban your account.
Ah. That no upvote rule. I've heard tell the corporate overlords don't like Luigi.
Reddit will shadow ban everyone except neoliberals, facists and Russian bots
Rofl.... Oh. They're serious. Well. In that case. Rotflmfao.
Hey guys! I heard reddit has at least 3 people left. My cousin Fred, his wife Honny, and their friend Emma. I think its a threesome, but I can't prove it.
Reddit is still pretty popular
It is sad since I hear a lot of people complain about it
Reddit is nothing without anonymity.
You have to enter a slur on occasion to maintain non-bot status.
I still need a bot to help me rewrite my comments so I can close out my account
