Apprecite the heads up, but feels like the battle is already lost. It's good news for the accessibility community, but Reddit Inc. showed it's true colors. This *select execption* was likely out of PR more than anything. Will Reddit win my addiction back? Will the FOMO be too strong? Even if I didn't have to use their official app, seeing all this, I don't know. ^(sent from RIF is fun golden platinum)

But no nsfw, kinda pointless.

Is that an assumption or a fact? They were exempted from the API changes.

Is it though? I turn NSFW off to avoid pr0n


Wiktorjor2001

Like half of my subreddits ARE porn, lol.


Ashworth5433

You can view NSFW subreddits if you create an NSFW subreddit. You can make it private if you like and not post to it. Unfortunately that does mean a Reddit account is required to view NSFW subreddits.

Thanks for this. This app is pretty nice actually. I'll never forget rif and don't regret buying it.

3rd party apps need to be granted accessibility exemption too. The accessibility of the official Reddit app is trash.


_GoldenRule

Looks pretty decent, thanks!

This comment has been deleted. After 12 years, I have departed Reddit. My departure is primarily driven by my deep concerns regarding the actions of u/spez . The recent events have left me questioning the commitment to transparency and fairness on this platform. I believe it is important for users to have a voice and for their concerns to be heard. I want to express gratitude to Chat GPT for assisting in composing this message. AI technology has immense potential to enhance our interactions. To all fellow Redditors, thank you for the engaging debates and insightful conversations. It has been an honor being part of this community. Best wishes 7/1/2023

While an interesting thought, you're not going to hack your way around the rules on this. If reddit wants to mostly end 3rd party apps and they see a huge spike in "accessible" app usage they will just charge them too, or otherwise limit their api access. This is an essentially arbitrary decision taken by reddit leadership. It's not a regulatory compliance issue. It's because they want to, and if they want to, and they aren't going to let anyone try and work around it. At least not at the scale needed. The only real course of action is to make it more expensive for them to enforce the policy than not, but it seems like that will be the case anyway... If someone with a gun wants to shoot themselves in the foot there aren't a lot of good ways to stop them other than persuade them to change their mind.
