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.

MODERATORS
I honestly don't think theyll remove it, since reddit relies on mods and mods really prefer old reddit than new reddit
But I wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid like limiting it to only mods
Mods also rely on third-party apps that use the API, and those are being shut down. I don't think they care about the mods at this point.
Well, mods also relied on 3PAs so...
sorry off-topic but what's up my username buddy 💙

Stop blackmailing him.
It's literally the same wording as that the API isn't going anywhere, and the same reasoning as why it won't go away. Reddit is definitely stupid enough to get rid of it
"The API isn't going anywhere, we're just deliberately pricing it out of reach! See? It's different!"
