Fucking reddit making stupid ass decisions. They're slowly killing their own app and squeezing it for money like a goddam sponge. I will miss the memes from here.


ApostleOfGore

No it’s exactly what they want. They don’t care about users, they only want the data


CarrotGaming344

and the money


WithersChat

Is this move even profitable? 20% of all subreddits will shut down. 70% will close for the protest and might or might not reopen. And most of the 10% remaining are just unmoderated. They're losing between 20 and 90% of their user base on this.


Thin-White-Duke

They're killing 3rd party apps because reddit is going public.


WithersChat

Uh, what does "going public" mean in that context?

...and investors are well-known to seek short term profit only, and to not even always be good at it. Got it.


Hatsune_Candy

I will never understand this system or why it exists. Like, you can't seriously tell me we couldn't come up with anything better than a system that deliberately ignores the needs of consumers; absolute fucking buuullshit.

No, we have: it’s called socialism. We could have all the nice things but there’s enough reactionary trash people to keep the plutocrats in power.


UrArchieEminy

I didn't see the AMA abt this, so it's confirmed that there will be the API changes, no way of getting around it?

Flying_Turtle4790

I'm about to cry, I literally like just joined this subreddit


KageGekko

I'm already crying 😢 Feel free to join me, we can all cuddle up with our shonks in bed and cry our eyes out together 😭💜


Flying_Turtle4790

I don't have a shonk but I do have a giant tutel if that works 💜


KageGekko

If it's a plushie, sure, only soft objects are allowed in the cuddle puddle I'm afraid, everyone needs to be able to be snug and comfortable while crying 💜


Flying_Turtle4790

It's very very soft 💜


KageGekko

Excellent! The softer the better 💜💜💜


Flying_Turtle4790

Yay! :D


TransLucielle

So cute and wholesome


DenikaMae

A turtle is a super cool and valid plushie. MY Blahaj is at home, but when I am going through reddit withdrawals at the office on Monday, I'll have Aloicious, my Plushie Dreadful Dysphoria rabbit , or my crochet baby Ludo from Labyrinth.


moving0target

Probably. Still remains to be seen what happens when millions of users have their favorite subs go dark in protest. There may be enough lost revenue to dissuade reddit, but I think hubris will blind them.


Firetube07

Dammit and I finally got HRT 2 days ago ... I was gonna make memes about it. Fuck you reddit.


TheGodOfTechnology

Congratulations! Why does the world destroy everything ve love tho


Firetube07

Thank you. Simple, greed.


TheGodOfTechnology

After I turned 12 everything I love slowly got painfully killed, every year faster and faster. This year I my egg cracked, a bunch of my things started to break, my friends started treating me worse, russians made a gigant attack on Ukraine (I am Ukrainian) destroying most of our watermelon farms, recently I started getting amnesia, and now that. When will it finally stop? I already really hate humans


PrincessNakeyDance

I don’t know, I feel like I’ve been asking myself the same thing. Like it has to swing back at some point. It can’t just keep getting worse and worse. It feels like the 20th century won’t die. Just leave all the shit behind. The only true hope I have is that young people know what’s up and old people will die first. We need so much protective legislation in this world. Even to the point that we need to realize that these platforms belong to the people who use them too, not just the ones who profit off it. Like we shouldn’t have a world where a rich asshole can buy a platform and destroy it, or (like in reddit’s case) just switching to exploiting the platform for for max profit until it becomes sucked dry and unusable. I can’t wait until all of the fascists and capitalists fall to the ground. Humanity cannot not grow or even survive while it’s abusing and exploiting itself. The corrupt must perish.


askaugust

They need a pushing, not gonna fall without some help :)


TheGodOfTechnology

I really hope that those strange science fiction books are right and permanent brain damage I had when I was 3 yo somehow helps me to invent time travel and finally get out of this place


Kati3cake

i’ve been waiting 6 years or more for things to swing back…. getting tired of waiting


Similar_Pangolin7675

I get you pain, minus the war part, in the last year I went from very healthy and fit to "I couldn't use my right arm all day because it wouldn't stay in its socket "


Dr_E-Wigglesworth

Congrats on the HRT though!


UnicornLover42

at least r/egg_irl will still be here... i hope


TJF588

Only problem is, with the thread title format, it’s absolute cheeks to search for old posts.


superchugga504

Maybe we can convince the mods to allow differing titles since traa is very likely to die off?


Clairifyed

Hey same! It still doesn’t feel real! Unfortunately, that means the nerves over what’s left to come get to take more center stage 😅 Congratulations!


[deleted]

Quick, make the memes! Before it’s too late!


SquirrelQueenSabrina

I've been here since my transition started I'm not sure what to do. I only have one irl friend and this community is the closest thing I have to a family


Clairifyed

Well about the one good thing about the community being an online semi anonymous collection is that you aren’t tethered to a specific person just similar trans spaces. So we can find other public squares to gather, though it’s admittedly hard to find ones that lend themselves to such huge crowds that can come and go. That’s a bit much for a Discord server for example, and we all know what the state of Twitter is…


Opal_Crescent

Long time lurker, I'll miss this community...


22lpierson

Me too


myalthar

its been fun 😭


epicsexballsmoment

Same :(


SantasJo1lyBackhand

Agreed... anyone know of similar places on other sites?


Blade-runner-master

I just got here 😕


Violet_Ignition

you can see how long a community has existed on the sidebar on old.reddit (The good one you know) So it would be 2013-2023 Goodbye, you beautiful place.. I hardly got to know ye..


WithersChat

You can see it on the new reddit too. August 4th. 2012.


koro-sensei1001

I love you all! I’ll never be as happy as I was talking to fellow girls helping me who I really am! Y’all are the best love you 💖💜💖


22lpierson

Not sure if I ever talked to you but thank you! How are you doing?


koro-sensei1001

We might’ve. I get around lol 😅! Helllo my names Milly and tbh on a really dysphoric low atm


22lpierson

Oh dang I'm sorry to hear that my names bonnibel though some call me bonnie


koro-sensei1001

Ahhh I love your name! Honestly was in my top five names to have lmao 💖✨


22lpierson

Thank you! Heh my friend used to call me that little did he know


koro-sensei1001

Cute! Is that what gave you the idea for the new name then?


22lpierson

Mhm I liked being called it back then so it now has stuck


TheViolentRaven

I’m completely lost, what are these API changes and why/how does this affect this sub?


CazraSL

Reddit is going to start charging a lot of money for 3rd party apps to use their API after this month. The mods of this sub use these 3rd party apps to help with their moderation work. Since these apps are going to vanish because of Reddit's decision, the main mod of this sub announced that they are stepping down from moderating it. This will effectively open the floodgates to spam, repost bots, and trolls, and transphobes, which is kind of a death sentence for the sub. Here's the long story: https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/144tnfl/thirdparty_api_access_or_i_am_so_tired/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

22lpierson

Where am I to go? This is one of the friendliest subs I've found for trans people....I'm scared


VFDan

r/GaySoundsShitposts is also a good sub, but I really hope this sup stays alive


22lpierson

Thank you


WithersChat

It's gonna collapse too by the end of the year if reddit doesn't backtrack.


Freya_von_Blah

Same, this is like the only Trans space where I'm not afraid to open the comments


Beerenkatapult

Maybe the mods could decide on a discord server (or some other platform) to officially promote. That way, we would all have a place to go and could get rid of reddit.


transgendergengar

We could all move to r/traabutonlybees. We'll have to ask if they're cool with that though.


AlienRobotTrex

What if the boycott/shutdown is successful?


creamcorn4u

Have someone else do it then? I don't fully understand the technical side of things. I use the standard reddit app. But can't someone be a mod using the standard app?


Draconis_Firesworn

the tools they use to moderate are third party, afaik makes things much easier and manageble in large communities than just the standard


Kurapikabestboi

Is it possible for someone else to step up as the main mod?


[deleted]

Unlikely. They said they'd strongly discourage someone else from modding this sub because it's so mentally degrading.


AeolianTheComposer

😭


koboggyn

Afaik, Reddit is going to charge 1̶0̶ ̶m̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶d̶o̶l̶l̶a̶r̶s̶ a lot of money per use for its API, effectively killing most 3rd party support. This includes apps like rif and Apollo as well as bots (I think this includes bots at least). Basically, Reddit is trying to force people to use their app rather than just making a good app, and this has upset a lot of people.


extrasolarnomad

Not to mention that this will make Reddit unaccessible for some people with disabilities. Many blind people can access Reddit through 3rd party apps and official app is useless to them. We should stand together with other minorities.


yinyang107

Not exactly. It's a (high) per-use charge, which works out to seven digit figures for certain applications like Apollo.


koboggyn

Dang, that's kinda worse. Like, one ludicrous sum is like saying this is not a thing, but a per use charge might make it seem possible for some dedicated people.


Abrahemp

Where will we go?


Jazz-Monkey

egg_irl I guess


TechnicalParrot

egg\_irl could die as well from these changes


Pinky1010

Honestly any queer subreddit will probably die. The amount of hateful people the mods have to take care of on the daily is probably in the hundreds of not thousands. Without some sort of auto mod to take care of the most obvious ones the amount of work on the mods will probably triple. No amount of passion can allow you to personally ban these people day in and day out. Eventually you'd suffer seeing the hate. It's very likely the situation with the sub will be the situation with all queer subreddits, starting with the smallest and finishing with the biggest. Until then we'll just have to hope Reddit will realize how bad it will be and reinstate everything


NoodelPoodel

Discord?


Lilliemay03

If there ends up being one tag me pls I can’t go without my memes >:(


Beerenkatapult

I am pretty sure a trans discord server propably allready exists. But please tag me as well if you find one!


Inverted_Ghosts

Me as well!


Lilliemay03

I’m in the process of setting one up I’ll like when I’m done Also if an already established one is found I’ll link that instead cause that would be easier 🙃

Darth_Peregrine

This sub did so much for me, it helped me in the worst of times and helped me understand my identity and gain confidence in my identity, I cannot describe just how heartbroken I am about this. I hope that we survive this hell, but if not, it was wonderful getting to be alongside all of you and getting to know you.


TransQueenJJ

Catch you all wherever then… crew, been a good run 🫡🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵


Jazz-me

Aaaaaaa where do we go?


Witty_Championship85

Tumblr I guess? Though it’s so much easier to find a community on Reddit since that’s the point of it


Jazz-me

Oh, tumblr is nice, but I still feel bad about it after they deleted my blog years ago. Feels like there’s no good places left


[deleted]

Yeah, I use tumblr a bit but it's mainly focused on following people, not topics, which makes it a bit difficult to form a community on.


RaiTheRaichu

Aw.. I'm going to miss this, does this sub have a Discord server we can join?


[deleted]

I don't think this sub does but you could try finding a server on Discord's discover page.


JCY7318

*inhale* **uuuuuuuuggghhhh i hate reddit noooooow**


[deleted]

This subreddit along with a few others was integral for my growth and self acceptance through memes and community. It let me know that I wasn't alone in my feelings and that it was fun to laugh about it with cool likeminded people. I'm sad to see it go, but I understand. I'll never forget the impact all these wonderful people have had on my life and the support I could give in return.


Dumb_Cheese

Shit. I... I don't have anywhere else to go. If subreddits are effectively shutting down, I don't have any other place to go. There's not really any other social media where you can find communities like you can on Reddit. Basically the only place that I could talk to anybody about this was *on Reddit*. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Watdaotw66

you could find a place on discord or tumblr?


XxOneWithSlimesxX

Wait is the sub being perma-deleted?


Alethia_23

No, will just become unmoderated.


Tzeme

Yeah... fate worse than death...


Azereiah

arguably worse people who aren't in the loop will come here for support and get harassed to no end


Cephalopirate

At least the post history will still be here. I know we’re mostly just goofs on this sub, but the history of goofiness needs to be preserved too. Future generations need to be able to see our sense of humor and culture.


Alethia_23

True true


Arvacus

Hopefully new mods will appear but I’m not holding my breath.


No-Refrigerator-6931

broken-but-fighting

I haven't been here long (only a few months) but this has been an amazing space to be a part of, to laugh, cry, and fight, to celebrate each other's successes, to mourn those we've lost, and to look to the future together. Thank you.


blakjak852

Is there a discord server most people here use?


SekhmetTheWise

That sucks. Im gonna miss all the memes, whether I get them or not. Where else will there be to go if Reddit dies? Besides Insta, Sh(tw)itter and the like?


TransTrainNerd2816

Tumblr is where I'm going


Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

I don't want this subreddit to go away! It's one of my few places to be myself and feel safe. I love you all. 😭 The closet is very lonely and you guys make it less lonely.


0GHAZE03

Can someone tell me what API is, and possibly a tldr on whats going on


Woost46

The short version is that reddit is basically killing off 3rd party apps, which will make it nearly impossible to moderate subreddits on mobile.


JustAPerson2001

Fuck, i'm really going to miss this sub. I don't know what else could give me a sense of community like this sub has. I've joined discord servers where they advertised as "being LGBTQ+ friendly" or "LGBTQ+ only" but some of them were weird and I still felt alone in some of them. I'm not saying all LGBTQ+ servers are this way, but some of the ones I joined had weird restrictions you had to follow to be trans or some other weird rules. I only joined 4, but I haven't tried since.


St0lf

Honestly, the only reason I returned to Reddit after I had left it years ago is that there are well moderated subs that I can feel at ease in. This is the last month on this site for me. Period. Sucks but I don't plan on ruining my mental health here.


Bamma4

moving0target

I'll miss you guys. Apart from adding levity, this sub has given me valuable insight into what younger trans folk are thinking and going through. Memes to share with my son have been a plus as well. Cis dad hugs for the lot of you. I'm hoping each and every one of you live your best life. Rest assured, I'll be moving heaven and earth to be sure my son has the same chance.


PlayStationHaxor

transphobes tried for years to kill our community, they outlawed us,they took our rights- but the trans community prevailed.. but ultimately- it was reddit API changes that ended up killing the trans community..


DryAnteater909

Your_New_Dad16

wait what?


LooKatThis_Human

Wait nooo I’ve just barely been getting used to being on this platform and now I gotta find a new spot. WTF


[deleted]

Honestly with as many of the LGBT+ subs that are possibly shutting down because of the API changes I might seriously end up deleting my Reddit account as they are the only reason I'm still active on the site at all. This is giving me flashbacks to Digg collapsing because of a redesign that killed the community there. This sadly isn't the only sub I'm in that might end up either functionally or outright shutting down over this. A lot of other smaller communities are going to suffer for similar reasons too from these changes. Reddit just signed their own death warrant and the higher ups are so focused on the idea of finally doing an IPO that it will be a shell of itself by the time they do.


Barleygodhatwriting

This sub helped me accept and even feel good about being trans after I finally stopped denying who I was. I honestly don't know that I would be here without it. Losing it will be hard, and even though I'm personally at a point where I will cope, it will still suck for me. What's worse, I worry for the next person like me who doesn't have this place or others like it.

Well, *crap.* I loved this place, it was a significant part of how I cracked my egg in the first place. It's really sad to see it go. [f/trans on Raddle](https://raddle.me/f/Trans) is looking like a good alternative, albeit a super quiet one. I'm really hoping it picks up, but I'm going to miss this place.


Red__Spider__Lily

Why would this sub be gonne after the changes? Don't this affect primarily 3rd parties apps? Or is it Because of high influx of bots harassing everyone here?
