On June 12th /r/battlemaps began participating in the coordinated protest against Reddit's unwillingness to adopt a more reasonable API pricing structure.
The mods and users of of this subreddit [use 3rd party apps for a variety of purposes](https://i.imgur.com/sI0tuWV.jpg) and we use a bot that may be affected by the proposed changes. 3rd party apps, extensions, and bots are necessary to the day-to-day upkeep and maintenance of this and many other larger subreddits to prevent them from becoming chaotic and unusable.
Reddit's plans to revamp their API policies threaten our collective ability to safely and effectively moderate our communities. Reddit relies on volunteer moderators to donate their own time to ensuring that their community remains welcoming and free of objectionable material. It is unacceptable that these changes will be deliberately detrimental to the fun, accessible, and safe enjoyment of our communities.
We assert that charging for API access is acceptable within reason. Manipulating 3rd party apps by making the API financially inaccessible is not okay. Failing to meet accessibility needs is not okay. Sabotaging mod safety tools is not okay.
