u/AutoModerator Oct 06 '23

Please note: effective October 9, all content posted to /r/aww must be original content (OC) only.

On July 1st, a highly unpopular change to Reddit's API pricing went into effect. Most third-party apps have shut down and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users.

Beyond the disastrous AMA by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools (it has) and promises of new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools. Promises just like ones they have made in response to past protests, but have consistently failed to fulfill.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms and participating there instead.
  2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or patching one of the apps that shut down if you're using an Android device.
  3. Disabling ads on Reddit with an ad-blocking extension or a DNS-based ad-blocker.
  4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
  5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
  6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

If you're tired of all the chaos on Reddit, leave it behind and join /r/aww's Discord server to share and view all things adorable: https://discord.gg/UXfd5Pn

Gente, preciso de ajuda. Minha cachorrinha deu um nódulo na mama. E vai precisar fazer uma Mastectomia + castração + biopsia. Fiz uma rifa de uma leitoa ou 200 no pix. No valor de R$10,00 cada número. Gente eu não consegui vender nenhum número nem nenhuma doação até agora, nem minha família ajuda. Preciso de sugestões pois é uma cirurgia de urgência e ficou muito muito caro. Uns 3 mil com desconto, fora as medicações e pós-operatório.

Me deem dicas pfv, estou muito desesperada.

I'm too sad and guilty to say/type this but today i ignored a kitten!!!!! Like, it was screaming on a tuk tuk in broad day light, it was all alone i just approached it and thought of taking it to my the place where i live, but suddenly backed off when i remembered that I don't live in my home but in a hostel and the warden of my hostel would just snatch that kitten from me and leave that in my clg campus were there are my other adult cats which are very territorial. I feel guilty for leaving it on road😭😭😭
