It's just pathetic now

I'm still in the process of moving old saves off my Reddit account and found this gem today. Reddit HQ is coping hardcore, I can't image regular users actually care about this.

Translation: see how we are the real victims here.

They're literally shitting on their free labor here.

Look how reliant our unpaid workforce is on third-party tools!

I see any “announcement” by Reddit as pathetic attempts to regain legitimacy. Ain’t gonna happen. If Spez is fired and all connections to him are severed I might sniff around Reddit again. But it would be like getting a drink with an ex you’re over. I wouldn’t be there to rekindle anything, just morbidly curious how big of a dumpster fire they are.

Spez must go, that's out of question, but more importantly 3rd party apps must stay, because the place is borderline unusable without them.

PotjiePig@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Spez is a fall guy. Reddit is rotting to the core.

If both of those demands are met, as well as an assurance about old.reddit remaining, then I think I'd start using Reddit in addition to kbin.

We really should have formal demands.

I imagine bots are all that's going to be left

Bots and confused conservatives.

maynarkh@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 3y

Confused conservatives fighting LLM bots trained on r/politics groupthink.

Still is more than they deserve.

I see this on the account I got my API keys out of, but not in the others, so I think it's directed to us who use personal bots for whatever reason.

Doesn't really make it less pathetic though. Every time I see that, I just laugh and let Shreddit run thrice a day as a fuck you (until June 29, ofc. I don't want to Steve Huffman go all huffy on me, lol!)

I got that message and I'm pretty sure I never even knew I had an API key. Could be a randomized A/B campaign.

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Could be. Damn, they're really getting desperate, huh?

vapeloki@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (3 replies)

If you used a 3rd party app, there is an api key in your account.

AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

to my knowledge 3rd party apps use the developers' keys

vapeloki@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yes, but they need also a key from your account. That's the way the keep you logged in.

The app key is to authenticate the app, the api key is for authentication

incompetentboob@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

The user is given an OAuth token which is different to an API Key.

penguin_ex_machina@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y (5 replies)

I've never made a Reddit bot (or used one for that matter) or requested an API key though, so I'm not sure what triggered it for me.

megane_kun@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Damn, they might really be getting desperate putting their word out there.

kadu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Maybe you look like an advertiser. Or investor.

Have you ever been a mod? I was made mod in a subreddit long time ago, but i left it. I also got modinfo from reddit from time to time so i figured thats what it was that caused me to see this

AMindForeverVoyaging@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

Never been a mod, never had a bot…but I got it, too.

penguin_ex_machina@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Nope! I'm legit just a regular joe user.

bionicjoey@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 3y

Lies, damned lies, and statistics
