A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I suspect support will be axed eventually - chances are many people will flock to these exempt apps to still get their 3rd party client fix, and that will put them on the radar for Reddit to find a way to justify pulling the rug out under them too (e.g. "Our app is now accessible!").
It's a shame that Reddit went like this.
Sorry sure, sounds like they see that writing on the wall and are taking advantage of it. "You need us for now and we'll be actively using that time to migrate our users elsewhere"
Oh yeah, as soon as reddit fixes the accessibility on their app, all 3rd party ones that exceed their "free tier" API usage are gonna be nixed. And Redreader being called out as a white listed alternative means people will flock to it in the meantime, giving Reddit an easy out once they get their shit in order.
