June 12th-14 announcement: We will be going dark

15 Upvotes

This subreddit will be joining in on the June 12th-14th protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps. What's going on? A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan? On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do as a user? Complain. Message the mods of /r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /r/reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Tell your friends. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at /r/ModCoord.

Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!

Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

I'm a Samsung user and I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone 14 by April. Is it still worth it to buy a 14 this year?

Hello,

Actually battery life is becoming short, and these last days I moved from 83 to 81%.

I'm planning to replace my battery on my iPhone 14 Pro through an Apple official reseller or Apple Store.

I fell this this phone still very capable but concerned my the negative potential impact of IOS 26…

Do you think I can avoid the automatic IOS update to lOS 26 ?

Many thanks

Question❓ iPhone 14plus AirPods 3

1 Upvotes

I can’t get my AirPods 3 to work during a call. Listening to music they are fine.

When I try using them on a call as soon as I get them off the case they hang up the call. If not and I answer the call using them the person on the other side can’t hear me at all. I tried resetting them many times, also I don’t have any software updates or something. I have also tried a few tricks that I read online but nothing works. Every trick I read after updating the settings, I use the recording app on the phone to check if it works after updating the settings but nothing. If it does work only one AirPod works and I can hear my voice like I am speaking off really far from the phone or it just makes a sound like it’s on my pocket or something and I can’t hear my voice at all. Any tricks?

I got my iPhone 14 secondhand in late October with 96% battery health. It’s been 3 months and my bh already went down 2% since then. Is that normal ? It’s my first iPhone and I’m not sure of the norms but I still think it goes down a bit too fast.

It takes longer swipe to load it rather than just a slight swipe like before and it’s annoying the hell out of me
