Not sure how that will affect libreddit or teddit. That’d would prevent me to get some news on specific channels, which when interesting enough, I brought to lemmy, :)
Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems
you might want to get in contact with the folks at libreddit who are concerned anonymous endpoints will be closed - thus killing libreddit and teddit
interesting. It looks like libreddit at least would be squashed.
In that issue they’re saying “hmm I wonder if this would apply to unauthenticated API requests”.
It seems nonsensical to me that it wouldn’t apply to unauthenticated API requests.
according to their matrix room teddit will meet the same fate
@Elara@lemmygrad.ml this may have implications for the TankieReplyBot.
TankieReplyBot doesn’t run on Reddit, it’s Lemmy only. This won’t affect it.
Wouldn’t the API changes for reddit cause some of the privacy frontends it links to (like libreddit and teddit) to no longer work though?
Oh, that’s what you meant. Yeah, that could be an issue, but I imagine at least some hosts will pay for the API if it affects them, depending on how much it costs. Hopefully they can continue to work. If not, it might be time to do some web scraping and get around the API.
