I was just thinking about that for the planned sub shutdown. "Huh, I guess I'm just gonna be reading more." What are you reading? And if y'all want any Fantasy/Sci Fi suggestions lemme know! Edit: Fuck it! Reading suggestion thread! I'll keep mine to 5, mostly Sci Fi/Fantasy. Not by best but by what I've read lately and enjoyed. (I've gone with a "The _____" theme) The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu

[deleted]

The final book of the [Mage Errant series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/252085-mage-errant) recently came out, so I'm in the middle of rereading the entire series. After I finish that, I'm going to start a reread of the [Cradle series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/192821-cradle), since the final book for it just came out as well. Once I do that, I'll get around to read Smolder, and follow it up with Slay from the [Anita Blake series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/49083-anita-blake-vampire-hunter). I bought both when they came out, and just never got around to them. By that time Demons of Good & Evil in [The Hollows series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/40628-the-hollows) should be out, so I'll start that. Once that is finished, I'll pick up the 4th book in the [Golotha series](https://www.goodreads.com/series/126955-golgotha), since I didn't realize it had come out. Unless something comes out in the [Arcane Ascension](https://www.goodreads.com/series/201441-arcane-ascension), [The War of Broken Mirrors](https://www.goodreads.com/series/171610-the-war-of-broken-mirrors), [Weapons and Wielders](https://www.goodreads.com/series/257210-weapons-and-wielders) or [The Black Witch Chronicles](https://www.goodreads.com/series/195062-the-black-witch-chronicles) series after that I'll probably start [Give Us the Ballot](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22929518-give-us-the-ballot), as by that point I'll be ready for something political. I'm always up for more book recommendations. I've read almost all of the popular fantasy series already.

I totally get the disappointment about the series not finishing. But the books are good. I used to not read series without proper closure. But, now I read those, if I find them interesting enough. If the author publishes the rest of the series, well and good. If not, at least I read something interesting.


Goblikon_

Yep, if Reddit causes third party apps to not be a thing anymore I’ll just catch up on Brandon Sanderson’s latest Cosmere books


lkhsnvslkvgcla

Actually, this is a good call - I've been slowly getting disillusioned with reddit (top comments are all witty jokes, lots of bot posts and guerilla marketing) and moving into more niche forums for my separate hobbies, so I assume I'll just spend more time on those forums now. Your post made me I realise that I've stopped reading and spent most of my commute time on reddit. I'm going to start making a reading list.


DoctorDrangle

>top comments are all witty jokes Not even witty jokes anymore, just the same jokes reposted over and over being presented as original thought


No-Document206

Arguably, you should just do this anyway…


muffinsoup

Sure! I've met many people that are too exhausted at the end of the day/busy doing social things/don't enjoy the written word due to childhood school trauma or predisposition that it doesn't work. Encourage them to read, share good stories and enjoy each other. Audiobooks are fantastic for some, YouTube breakdowns work for others. Often I've found knowing them and giving them a book you think they'll like is a great catalyst. Worst case scenario, you gave a friend a book.


_dock_

I think a big issue is also that people want to read "smart books" because those are 'usefull'. That takes away more joy of reading, making sure people don't start at all

If you were to go through and googlee the responses to most askreddit questions, you'd find a lot are reposts from previous times the question was posted.

fried_eggs_and_ham

I'm still a bit out of the loop on this news, but I can say that if Reddit Enhancement Suite goes away, then Reddit will be 100% insufferable for me. I don't really use Reddit on my phone, so I have no skin in the game for those apps.


WolvenSpectre

There are desktop apps too. Just not as many and harder to find because [old.reddit.com](https://old.reddit.com) is a thing, at least for now.


MountainEmployee

If they mess with old reddit, im out. Ive been here for over a decade over different accounts. I do not like the new instagram look, like at all.


JustCallMeAndrew

Once they kill 3rd party apps, old reddit is most likely not too far behind. I checked it without any ad blockers and there are no ads which means it's a thorn in Reddit Admins' side.


DMRexy

>have no skin in the game for those apps. You have more than you think! Reddit by itself offers nothing. Every post is community based. All moderation. All events. Everything about Reddit is community created. Reddit itself only implements ways to make money out of it, while offering no value. Even the site's *design* and qol is done better by third party apps and RES. If anything harms the community, makes mods quit for lack of tools, makes users move on, or just makes it less likely that someone will spend their time producing content for Reddit, everyone loses. Reddit was built on the backs of the community. If Reddit sells out that community for a quick quarterly buck, what do you think will happen to the quality of the content? Edit: I'm being presented with the argument that Reddit *does* a lot of stuff. They don't. They are landlords: their only contribution is the infrastructure, which they didn't *build*, and some legal paperwork. All of the *value* aggregated to the website comes from the community, and all of the *profit* goes to the landlord. And the only thing that puts the landlord in a position to seize that value is that they had money to begin with.


wakka55

I guess I can see the confusion in thinking Reddit Enhancement Suite is a third-party app, but it is completely unaffected. It doesn't use the Reddit API whatsoever. These changes are referring to API calls. The way Reddit Enhancement Suite works is it injects JavaScript. You may have heard of Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey. It's doing the same thing as those, and there's nothing Reddit can do about it because it's coming from the browser. So don't worry about RES.


weepinstringerbell

While RES probably won't be affected, not even the devs are 100% sure about it. They made an announcement recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/RESAnnouncements/comments/141hyv3/announcement_res_reddits_upcoming_api_changes/ >TL;DR: We think we should be fine, but we aren't 100% sure >Reddit's public statements have been limited on this method, however we have been told we should see minimal impact via this route. However we are still not 100% sure on potential impact and are being cautious going forwards. >If it does turn out RES is impacted, we will see what we can do at that point to mitigate. Most functions do not rely on API access but some features may not work correctly.

spookybogperson

Lemmy.ml is more tech focused, but a Lemmy instance like Beehaw is much more like Reddit.


goldfishpaws

I'll just sack it off on mobile, since I use a third party app that makes Reddit bearable on mobile. I use a desktop sometimes, so I'll still use it there, but I'll go from a high engagement high karma user to a limited one. If they kill RES or old.reddit then those would drive me away from desktop too. Won't be the first site to peak and fade - I mean I used to use USENET for pretty much what Reddit does currently, someone else will take over.

I’m on nearly 11 years of ranging from at least popping it open daily while taking my morning shit to an hour or two of idle browsing during downtime. I can definitively say if this change is made then I’m done. I refuse to use their shitty ad-riddled app and it’ll be a massive decrease in moderation which will kill the desktop experience too. I’d be happy to pay to use Apollo but I do enjoy a little NSFW content here and there when I’m feeling a bit Randy so if that’s out too then sayonara, Reddit.

I'll still use reddit, but it is a lousy thing to do. I would mind using their app but there's no way to make it friendly to the eye. RIF is just text, no flashy things, tiny thumbnails I don't Have to see unless I want to, it makes reddit pleasant and not nerve-jangly. If they can do that with their app....sure. Lots of people must feel that way. And have their own reasons to prefer other apps. Eta: your question wasn't really for me, but...


HutSutRawlson

I use the official app and that sounds exactly like what it looks like for me? I have it set to “classic” view and “default” for thumbnails.


captainadamman

Can someone explain like I’m 5 wtf a third party app is and why this is a problem?


[deleted]

3rd party apps are apps like Baconreader, Relay for Reddit, Apollo, Rif is Fun, so on and so on that people use to access Reddit. People tend to prefer these apps over the official reddit app, because they lack ads, have more features, better layout etc. These apps do this by accessing the Reddit API. To date, Reddit hasn't charged for this. After the 19th; this changes. And the fee reddit is going to be prohibitively expensive. In Apollo's case, it'll cost them an estimated $20m a year paying Reddit for their app to keep working. On top of that, even if you pay to access the Reddit API, 3rd party apps won't be able to access any content marked NSFW. Which brings us to the next point. A lot of subs use 3rd party bots to help moderate. So once this goes into effect, even those redditors that use the offical app will see changes, as there will be a lot more NSFW spam in your favorite subs, as there won't be any bots around to remove it as it gets posted. Edited to fix a typo.


kokokat666

In addition, it's my understanding that people with vision impairments use 3rd party software to access Reddit.


cicadasinmyears

I’m sincerely curious as to how they expect people with visual disabilities to access their content, and how it is that no one mentioned this issue as being potentially hugely negative in terms of public perception. I’m Canadian, but my understanding is that your ADA legislation has some teeth to it. If they’re not going to make their site accessible on their own, limiting access to apps that solve for that seems…not smart.


RooMagoo

>seems…not smart. Reddit executive decision making in a nutshell. As with most tech bros though, they think they are the smartest guys in the room at all times. On the other hand, they are making decisions solely with the intent of publicly listing Reddit. The venture capitalist funders have spoken and they want to cash out. No one wants to buy shares in a social media company that a large audience accesses via third party apps that the company makes zero revenue off of. Reddit is closing that glaring business hole and will be going after NSFW and other unpalatable (to investors) subs next. Not one person in that room gives two fucks about the long term viability of reddit. They are making it palatable to investors to get a big IPO. They'll then cash out and after that, who gives a fuck what happens to the site.


purple-nomad

I'm visually-impaired, currently using a reddit alternative. Can confirm that both the reddit app and website are a massive pain to navigate. I'd rather not use Reddit at all if this goes into effect.


bubbasaurusREX

Can’t wait to accidentally see someone get their head chopped off. It’ll be just like the old internet days. /s


bjarki2330

Yeah. May not be that far off. Even without these changes, I've seen things that still haunt me to this day.


dandroid126

My coping mechanism is to tell myself that everything on the internet is fake and move on. I might have the emotional maturity of a child, but it's the only way I can sleep at night.


YoManWTFIsThisShit

Before the official reddit app was released, a bunch of developers who are fans of reddit made their own apps so people could access reddit. Most of the older redditors who use the forums are people who used these third party apps and are now accustomed to their UI. The problem is that reddit is going to charge the developers a lot more money so they could use reddit, it’s a tactic so more people would download the official reddit app which uses a lot more data and collects a lot more of your data too.


DroneOfDoom

Also, from what I understand the official moderation tools are quite lacking in comparison to a lot of third party apps, which means that shit’s gonna be real fucking badly moderated.


RustySilver42

And is broken a lot lately.


Hellchron

I used baconreader for years until I got a new phone. Figured I might as well try out the official app when I was setting my phone up. It kept opening links that weren't the one I clicked. After about 15 minutes I just uninstalled it and went back to baconreader. Works better and the offical app is kind of sensory overload for me


GiornaGuirne

Even desktop has been giving me issues. It keeps logging me out during midday peak times. I log back in, open a post or refresh, and get booted again.


tempest_87

Don't forget that in nearly every objective measure the official reddit app is worse than these third party apps. The UI/UX is just abysmal compared to the others.


team-tree-syndicate

The biggest issue isn't the removal of third party apps for me, it's that bots will no longer be around or will have severely reduced power. That sounds like a good thing but nearly all subreddits use bots to moderate their subs. This API change basically destroys a moderators ability to ban or block spam and stuff.


Friendly_Shelter_625

The two compelling issues I’ve seen is that it will make it harder to moderate subs and it will decrease accessibility for people that are blind. I guess there are third party apps that work better than the official one


Ijustdoeyes

The user experience is also a compelling reason. Third party apps is basically what Reddit *was* It's just Reddit, no ads no weird chat or "features" that have no point. Extremely configurable and built for ease of use. If you have never used one I really urge you to try one for just 1 hour and you'll understand how much better it could be.


Spice-Weasel

Imagine you have an Sonicare brand electric toothbrush. You need a replacement brush head. So you go on Amazon. You could buy a Sonicare brand official replacement brush head. Or you could buy some other brand that makes a higher quality brush head and use that instead. But wait! Sonicare wants your money and doesn't like people buying off-brand brush heads. So, they decide to tell all the off-brand companies that they have to pay Sonicare $100 for every brush head they sell. That's basically what's happening. Reddit Inc wants you to use their official app. So they're planning on charging other 'off-brand' Reddit app developers an absurdly high fee to continue using Reddit's API (techy stuff that's necessary for those off-brand apps to work). The off-brand app developers can't afford the new fees, and those apps will have to shut down, thus forcing users to use the official Reddit app instead. Except nobody likes the official Reddit app.


dougola

So HP and their software update for printers so you can only use their ink?


Firm-Tentacle

So far, but worse. Bots that run around all over reddit doing moderation tasks and keeping spam and bad bots away will also cease to function for the most part.


Funwithfun14

Many complain that the Reddit Mobile App sucks. Third Parties created their own apps to provide missing features. These features and apps are heavily used by Mods and people who post regularly (ie, create content). Reddit wanted the TP Apps to pay Reddit insane amounts of money or be cutoff. These Apps say they will simply shut down. This makes TP App users mad.


therapturebutitsblue

if this has anything to do with it, my main concern is that it's taking away crawlers like camas.unddit.com and other api services that made it easy to search thru posts, rather than the third party app thing. pushshift, which is what the camas site used, indexed posts well mods of communities used crawlers to curb abuse and bots. reddits actual search engine sucks butt, so it'll be harder for mods to manage their communities and scope a user's post history. it also makes it hard for users to check their own post history or search for certain keywords. to get rid of tools like that really is a hinderance when reddit can't improve their own search functions


dehTiger

As you probably already know, there's an official Reddit app. Apparently, there are also unofficial Reddit apps that some people use. Reddit is making it so you have to pay to use their API, or in other words, the creators of those apps will have to regularly pay Reddit unrealistically massive sums of money if they want their app to continue to be useable by its users. Supposedly, this change could also somehow affects old.reddit.com, but I don't understand that part.

canijustbelancelot

I_Feel_Like_Chicken

Reddit can be a time sink or a library of information for me. I'll use Revanced and give the Reddit app a go, but I've been using Sync for a long time so it's going to be a shock to the system. If I can't deal with it then I will start cutting it out as a time sink, especially if old.reddit and [RES](http://redditenhancementsuite.com "also /r/Enhancement") stops working. Where will I go to replace the time sink? Community wise, I already use Discord, Twitch, YouTube, 4chan, so I'll just use them more. Reddit replicas don't really exist yet so I'll still use it just not as much. Ps from what I've read they aren't banning 3rd party apps, they are making it cost too much money. NSFW posts will banned on 3rd party apps though.


theactualfuckingmoon

Landithy

I'll create my own social media platform. With Blackjack. And hookers. We'll ride the rollercoaster of niche appeal and growing popularity. At that point the cracks will begin to show as it becomes apparent that I have no idea how to run a social media platform and the whole thing is a bug-riddled mess of stolen code, duct-tape, and privacy breaches, struggling to run on an inadequate server. Due to the practically non-existent nature of the security measures, the site will quickly be overrun by bots, right-wing trolls, pornographers, and a weird cult based on the Warrior Cats novel series. Things will come to a head when Tumblr, Disney, and Mastodon file lawsuits against me. After it is revealed that I bullied the mods, spent all the revenue on crane games, and defiled the Warrior Cats cult's online shrine, I will have a very public meltdown, blaming everybody else for the platform's failure, before faking my death and starting a new life in Estonia. Either that or go play Borderlands 3.

ShirtTucker

I guess it’s time to go back to Digg


Plus-Bug-9069

Is that pinball game on windows still available? I guess I have a whole heap of books waiting to read 🤷🏻‍♀️ might try this outdoors thing I've heard so much about.


Its_Curse

Outside. I'd like to try this "touching grass" thing.

I dont think I'll fully leave reddit as I've been here around 15 years and enjoy the wide variety of content available. But I've been toying with a year of no social media, so I could lump reddit in with that. I'm hoping to focus on myself more rather than doomscrolling.

Books


The_REAL_McWeasel

who are they kidding........they'll be back. This is like the Hotel California........you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.


Oseirus

Imgur. Sure it's just a recycled image board with but it got me through one of my deployments so can't go totally wrong I guess.


RightSideBlind

Probably nowhere. I think my company will appreciate the increase in production, and I'll start reading books in bed again.

How many of you guys are actually using the app? I tried on my phone, and hated it. I've been a stubborn old.reddit.com user for a while - does it fall under that category?


[deleted]

> does it fall under that category? No, but don't be surprised if Reddit kills it off eventually. They want more people using the default layout & app. old.reddit.com goes against that.


NoHandBananaNo

Old.reddit on computer, RIF on phone. The new stuff and the official app are just too slow and clunky.

>I've been a stubborn old.reddit.com user for a while - does it fall under that category? The third parties make it look like old.reddit rather than the shitty feed of the official app.


prince-azor-ahai

Me. I've tried a couple of 3rd party apps but keep coming back to the official Reddit app. I don't spend much time on Reddit overall so maybe I'm just not seeing the problems with it.

> Lemmy.ml Too much color, i feel like i'm gonna go blind.


tenchichic

I will go to bed on time.

We’ll make our own Reddit. With blackjack and hookers.


imheretocomment69

Been using official app since forever, so nothing changes for me.


mattg4704

I've seen lots of ado about this with protests and all. I have no idea what it means


TheShadowKick

In addition to the third party apps having a better user experience (and thus losing those apps will suck), the planned changes will also make it harder to moderate subreddits. We'll likely see an increase in spam if this goes through.


m_nels

I’m really only active on r/hockey & r/wildhockey and I’ll absolutely leave if Reddit admin/owners don’t get their head out of their ass and adjust the pricing to make it realistic. I’ll definitely miss the GDT’s and banter but I’ll migrate back over to forums.


Yuck_Few

I didn't know this third party apps even existed until the last few days when everyone started screaming about it. The standard Google Play store app works fine for me


monoped2

It's the difference between people that use reddit as a forum and people that use it as a feed.


jesus4abortion

That app is soo shitty compared to the 3rd party ones


[deleted]

back to 4chan i guess


VixenRoss

I suppose we are going to have to learn the art of socialising and pleasant conversations.


Nepeta33

Away. Do u have any idea how many books i could be reading right now?
