It's not that hard to get one.

#14I initially thought this was a dupe of next weeks protest, but no, this is a permanent shutdown.

This is a permanent shutdown, I've only seen temporary ones before.
This is a subreddit I look at sometimes, too. So it's pretty relevant, I think.

#16We get it, a lot of subreddits are going on strike to protest the API changes. I just wish this forum does not become the place-to-be to discuss how much reddit sucks. There's been at least 3-4 stories about the reddit API changes on the frontpage of hackernews for the past week at least.

#17HN might as well just run the headline that Reddit is shutting down permanently. All the major subs are either temporarily or permanently shutting down in protest.
Do we have a federated Mastodon-esque system to replace Reddit yet? Its the only way to ensure the community survives at this point; Reddit leadership has already proven they only wish to harm both shareholders and the community at large under the guise of "increasing shareholder value" and shove their fiduciary duty under the bus.

#18I decided to use this as a good excuse to delete Reddit. I find myself going to it too often, and scrolling for too long, and afterwards I feel worse about the direction of humanity and down about the world. I’m not getting anything positive from it so for my own mental heath I’m deleting the app.
I quit Reddit half a year ago after 15 years of daily usage. 11/10, would quit again.

#20This will make no difference at all.
RIF, Apollo and narwhale apps should all team up and create (or partner up) with a reddit clone.
All the founders of these apps just seem oblivious to this.
Or maybe there's a dead tight contract they signed or something but I'd do it anyway.
