As a user, I don't care whether it's like email or not. I just want a Reddit clone without the API changes.

- ipaddr 3y agoJust pay for api access if that's all you need
- RivieraKid 3y agoI want to use Reddit Sync like before. Now I can't even if I was willing to pay for it.
- Angelwings93 3y agoThat doesn't solve the problem The problem is the apps people like to use are no longer available, and Reddit doesn't permit them to just accept user API keys instead
- rewmie 3y ago> Just pay for api access if that's all you need The comments suggest the API pricing was just a stunt to hide the fact that Reddit wanted to kill third party apps in general, and in particular the ability of third parties to use Reddit posts to train AI models. That's not an option. Even if it was, reddit's tone deaf measures, such as undeleting accounts and threatening everyone and kicking out mods who protested, already killed the community and makes the decision of continuing to use Reddit as a questionable moral decision. People seek a reddit alternative, and rewarding reddit for its bullshit stunts is not it.
- timeon 3y agoI'm afraid there are not many options for you then.
- RivieraKid 3y agoI wasn't asking whether it exists, I know it doesn't.
- etler 3y agoThe point is that it's distributed so no one instance can go power crazy and abuse a monopoly on the platform. If you want to keep using centralized services then the same cycle will happen again and again.
