What happen to r/Classicube on Reddit

Posted

So came to my mind to join r/Classicube on Reddit but it's private with a massage :

"ClassiCube will not be utilizing Reddit due to recent controversies. We recommend joining the official Discord, which can be found at https://www.classicube.net/discord/"

So I thought why it's private and what was controversies about ?

Reddit added outrageous/hostile fees for developers to utilize their APIs and smeared several app developer names (including ones who previously had great working relationships with Reddit).

I'm not in the business of giving them more data to sell to AI companies, and we didn't really ever use the subreddit to begin with.

That's probably the most egregious example, yeah, but basically all third party apps had to introduce ongoing fees and hope that a few malicious users didn't increase costs significantly.

It was my decision to privatize the subreddit. A few years back, there was a movement for several subreddits to privatize as a protest against the changes Andrew mentioned. We agreed that Reddit is a burning garbage pile and never made it public since then. Nonetheless, I've updated the message to give more context.
