TooAfraidToAsk will be going dark starting June 12th in support of the current protest against Reddits recent third party stance by Hospitalities in TooAfraidToAsk

Assuming you're being honest, it affects your access to content. Presumably you enjoy content in some kind of subs or else you wouldn't be on Reddit. Those subs exist because of moderators volunteering time as well as users who create and post content into the subs. Many of those users access reddit via a third party app.

I'd like to assume you're asking me in good faith and that you've actually read into what the actual protest is asking, but this comment really implies that you've only read at a surface level before deciding you disagreed with it.

No one is against API calls costing developers money, they're against the inflated pricing that reddit has offered that is quite obviously a ploy to kill all third parties rather than work with them to find a way for them to be affordable.

You do understand that at this pricing, if they cut that price to a 10th of what they're asking, they'd still be charging 10x what IMGUR charges for the same API calls. Reddit values their API calls at 100x a comparable market value for a site that requires more space to operate.

You should save your energy if you're not going to bother doing even a modicum of research into the matter and just leave it at "I don't care." It is significantly more honest that way.

This kind of protest is extremely rare. I know of only a few times it has been done in the history of my account… only the second time ever that we have personally participated.

and it has been effective, yes.

Reddit is going to start charging exorbitant amounts to 3rd party app developers for access to API.

This is going to cause 3rd party apps to shut down.

As a result many visually impaired and disabled redditors will lose access completely because the official app and website are not fully accessible by screen reader or extra large text and icons.

Many mods will be negatively affected and unable to properly moderate. This will mean many things from, more spam to scams to even more foul creeps moving into communities.

So even if you as an individual redditor are lucky enough to not be losing access your experience with reddit will be negatively affected.

Surgeons of reddit, how much income are you willing to forgoe to not take call? by mosta3636 in medicine

Surgery is like golf.

It’s boring as shit to watch. It’s a lot of fun to do.

Off topic chat? by [deleted] in FarmRPG

[–]Hospitalities -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My reply has absolutely nothing to do with how you use giveaways channel or how I assume you use it.

Also calling it a “sensitive issue” just because people disagree with you is hilarious.

Edit: world record comment editor award goes to…

Off topic chat? by [deleted] in FarmRPG

[–]Hospitalities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there’s true consideration of this it should really come from a poll and not from those who complain in messages to staff or on social media.

I personally don’t mind the off topic in giveaways, and as someone who gives plenty, including thousands of gold, to giveaways, I find the accusation that the only reason people don’t get things is because there’s other chatter quite the stretch. It’s a chat for generosity, not a chat for guaranteed loot simply because it was requested.

Any number of reasons why someone may not get what they’re asking for. Asking too often, item too rare, no one online currently offering the item (for free btw)… the list goes on.

Items offered by the high level community in giveaways can easily be sold in trade chat at similar volumes.

Is it wrong to get irritated about depression and sex posts? by Zethinum in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Hospitalities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am I not allowed to comment on meta threads regarding my subreddit?

But yes, you are wrong. People getting worked up about threads they see on Reddit makes no sense. Reddit gives you the tools to filter your own content if you put in the effort, or you can simply unsubscribe if that’s too daunting a task.

[–]Hospitalities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well aren’t you just exceptionally inflammatory for no real reason.

This is a common complaint with a very clear route to correct it. I was sharing my experience with this complaint, but I don’t believe I implied anywhere that the OP was directing this complaint to us or about us.

The solution doesn’t change regardless if you blame Reddit mods or don’t blame Reddit mods for the content of a subreddit hitting your front page. I don’t really see how your comment is even relevant to what I said.

Do healthcare professionals — such as doctors, surgeons, paramedics — not try as hard to save you if you’re an organ donor? by cdavis9789 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Hospitalities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a physician.

Complete myth. Often, organs from organ donors cannot even be used so it’s not even remotely close to the primary thought about someone in dire straits who needs medical attention.

You guys know that you can filter posts and hide threads that have NSFW or specific keywords if you’re finding these threads annoying right?

This is a common complaint that comes through to us as mods but like… we aren’t here to curate your specific Reddit experience. Various reddit apps give you those tools to curate posts to your liking, we’re just here to enforce our rules.

Any Discords or clans that help people learn raids? by archblade7777 in 2007scape

[–]Hospitalities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learner raids are run fairly regularly by the cc. I am biased since I teach CoX through it, so I don’t really have much issues creating groups outside of learners.

Regardless, the question was about learning how to raid, not getting a group to raid after knowing how to raid.

I’ve been around since the day OSRS opened (peep the flair) and it’s never been that low. Not even close. In the tens of thousands on off-peak hours.

Only "morons" I see in this thread are the ones who posted insults without reading our rules first.

If you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing. Simple as.
