never related to shayne more in a video than him admitting his one big partying story/one and only time blacking out from drinking was because he felt SO guilty in a social situation that he felt obligated to drink a full bottle of whisky. The not great at partying/prone to guilt+social anxiety representation i need.

it’s very isolating to be queer, ND and lower class. to know that even surrounded by your peers you stick out like a sore thumb. to know that they treat you differently in ways you can’t even really describe because you’re not technically one of them. depressing

We need to talk about Reddit.

Edit: Reddit CEO said "this too shall pass" when referencing the protest. Because of this, we need to continue protesting indefinitely.

Reddit, a platform I use regularly to interact with Fandoms, has recently increased its pricing for third-party API. The pricing is so steep that it is completely unaffordable and some third-party developers have already announced they are shutting down.

Mods on Reddit rely heavily on these third-party API products as Reddit's is trash.

This means it may be nearly impossible to properly filter and moderate subreddits.

Furthermore,

People with visual impairments will have a significantly harder time accessing Reddit and Subreddits.

This is due to these API providing proper text to speech apps and more.

I won't pretend to understand, but I will provide links at the bottom explaining more in depth.

Many Subreddits and users are GOING DARK on June 12 and June 13th, 2023.

Do NOT use the app, the website, or interact with it whatsoever unless it is on other platforms to protest.

For the betterment of the platform and the users, we must get this new rule overturned. Join Me in the protest.

Don't think I've ever put this much effort in a singular drawing before. All my little nerd hobbies in a tidy little circle

I love this reddit migration, it feels like cousins i've never met came over to stay at our place

Woke up, first thing I did was delete the Reddit app 🫡 (bc I forgor to last night when I went to sleep)

It’s crazy to see how so many apps are making the worst decisions for their user base and are only motivated by money lmao

Here is a link to a site that shows which Reddits have pledged to the blackout and which are currently blacked-out (as of posting the count is 6653/7265)

Here’s an article from that site that explains about this more in-depth
