Does anyone know if r/daddit is coming back?

[justasurvivor]

@tkishore350 Could you share some?

 

[tkishore350]

@justasurvivor I responded to another commenter - r/dad and r/BreakingDad (although that one is private)

 

[christisfirst]

@tkishore350 What's the biggest one? Not talented enough to figure it out on my own

 

[tkishore350]

@christisfirst Probably r/dad

There's a private sub called r/BreakingDad too but you'd have to apply etc.

@commie4christ Yeah, this is so annoying. Feels like the app users are being punished.

Worst time too, just brought our first kid home lol

 

[commie4christ]

@shelib9298 Congrats man. I did find r/dad but it doesn't feel the same. Maybe it will grow because of this all.

@commie4christ Here's a sneak peek of /r/dad using the top posts of the year!

#1: Proud dad moment: watching my kid land his F/A-18 on an aircraft carrier. | 28 comments

#2: Baby Sydney arrived this evening at 9lbs even. Momma did great despite thinking we where going to have a c-section then pushing it out, all while finding out that she has Covid! My wife is awesome! | 20 comments

#3: Didn’t know where else to post this but I became a father today! I’m super excited, scared, happy, etc. hope you all have a wonderful new year! | 17 comments

@commie4christ Wait what happened to r/daddit?

 

[andycook]

@kkryry Some mods on a power trip are throwing a fit about reddit because venture capital is no longer willing to subsidize apps used to circumvent ads on Reddit.

 

[daniel9ds]

@commie4christ These blackouts are so dumb

 

[smclem]

@daniel9ds I don't see how people think reddit will pivot. The third party apps owe reddit their existence. Reddit isn't obligated to enable other people's business. I get how people feel but it doesn't make economic sense.

 

[timelesstim]

@smclem I listened to a good interview with the Apollo guy today. They aren't trying to keep the API free. It's about how this happened. No discussion, no heads up.

For example Apollo has members paid out for a year on their current costs. If they have to now pay 2 to 3 dollars per month per user it could wipe them out. They've tried to work with reddit but reddit refuses to even discuss it.

 

[justusinchristsettlesall]

@smclem Every once in a while redditors get mad that corporations make money and try to riot until they get bored and move on to something else.

 

[justusinchristsettlesall]

@commie4christ Just the idea that more than 3% of the community cares about that issue is plainly stupid and them keeping subs blacked out is just an annoyance and gets more people on Reddit’s side. Hope it comes back soon.

 

[patdude832]

@justusinchristsettlesall It’s well over 30% of users that use 3rd party apps. Plus every moderator

 

[gurshwin]

@patdude832 Apparently without 3rd party apps it's like trying to count all the grains of sand in Hawaii using only your toes while in Norway. Not very good.

 

[dropbear]

@justusinchristsettlesall I support blacking out “fun” subs but I think blacking out support communities is a bad call.

 

[commie4christ]

Someone commented on here that /r/daddit_new was created, but it got downvoted. I'm assuming it was mods in support of the protest from that mod sub but figured I'd comment it again. Has some posts already.

 

[djo82]

@commie4christ r/daddit_new already exists. Only a matter of time before it actually starts gaining traction if this pointless blackout continues.

 

[lapidoth]

@commie4christ can someone give me a short TLDR on why subs are going dark? I havent been too active on reddit but daddit is always helpful
