When can we use Reddit again?

Deleted the app from my phone, but the site will pop up in my Bing/Google searches and I’ll accidentally click on it from muscle memory only to find the sub is closed/private - I could still use WayBackMachine to find it. And I obviously can’t post this question on Reddit, but what’s the next best alternative?

Reddit is back. Only giga virgin moderators and ‘power users’ are seething

Yea I get it from a Dev standpoint but like…. you’re using their API and it incurs cost. We all know it this works, particularly those of us on this app…

Flagged by the community.

I agree with the sentiment, but it’s been less than a week since we were supposed to stop using it - maybe things will change once Condé Nast (huge owner) forces something else to happen once they notice the traffic drop?

Reddit’s selling power is 80% the result of Elon taking over Twitter. Without being the last major company standing in the space there is no way they could dictate terms this outrageous and not melt. The other 20% is the AI insanity.

It had an outage, but it's been back for a bit.

Not entirely what I was referring to: I meant the community, both in terms of users and a ton of the popular sub reddits that went (permanently) private as a sign of protest for the increased API cost

Nay, don't use Reddit unless you really want to support what they have done or a fcuked up dude like Spez. Many of my friends have all left Reddit. We need fewer social media platforms in our lives anyways.
