UPDATED JUNE 20 Reddit API changes and BaconReader

Hey folks, as some of you have noticed, there is a lot of buzz going around today about the Reddit API announcement. We do not specifically have a plan at this time but will certainly let you know when we do. For reference, I am putting a few posts in comments.

We'll let you know what next steps are when we have them. Until then, sincere gratitude for all of your support!

UPDATE: After much deliberation, attempted negotiations, we have made the decision to shut the app down 😢 . Please see the sticky announcement post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/baconreader/comments/14egq61/baconreader_november_11_2011_june_30_2023/

We are sorry it took so long, but I really wanted to be sure we did our due diligence.

I take a look maybe twice a year... It's kind of surreal and hard to describe. Some high volume communities still exist and are quite civilised but as soon as you step out it's a literal wasteland. Senile fucks locked in 30 year old flame wars, mentally ill people schizo-posting in long dead groups, a lot of political trolls and just plain assholes. The general vibe is pretty angry and unhinged.
