Reddit is reaching out to moderators after tensions rose over recent policy changes and API pricing. A Reddit admin acknowledged the strained relationship and outlined new weekly feedback sessions and other outreach efforts to repair ties. However, moderators remain skeptical of Reddit’s efforts given mixed results from past initiatives. Many mods feel Reddit has been unwilling to make meaningful changes to address their concerns like more accessible API pricing or exemption for accessibility apps. After a tumultuous few months, moderators have very low expectations that Reddit’s latest efforts will result in real changes.
At this point, even if they backpedaled completely - even if they fired spez - it’s far too little and far too late. Third party apps are gone. The trust is gone. Folks like me deleted their content and their accounts. There is no going back.
Reddit search results are worse than useless now if you’re not signed into old reddit and have res installed. Google’s SEO problem is resolving itself. They have joined pintrest on my insite= exclusion list
I could at least understand that though, it would suck but I would not be surprised. I’m genuinely dumbfounded by the attempt to just brush past it
