Steve Huffman: "Apollo threatened us, said they'll 'make it easy' if Reddit gave them $10 million. This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."

Luckily, Apollo developer Christian Selig had proof that Huffman lied.

While the media coverage (and many written subreddit positions) focus on the API changes, it's the justified anger at Huffman's dishonesty that fuels many of the redditor protests.

Apparently r/interestingasfuck just became a porn subreddit, and has managed to get boobs to the top of r/all. Over half of the posts I found on the front page of r/interestingasfuck is now porn. It's becoming r/interestingassfuck instead.

If enough subreddits do this, Apple will eventually see no other outcome than removing it from the App Store due to their policy.

This is hillarious.

@robotdeathsquad I had no idea that was even a thing. I'm shocked. (As a moderator of several medium-sized subreddits, still keeping them dark in protest.)

This Reddit blackout is proving my point we need to go back to forums. Trying to search an error message, first thing that pops up in Google is a Reddit post with the error message. But the sub is participating in the protest. Thankfully there is a cache. But can we PLEASE go back to using forums?

@mike @tchambers @atomicpoet @shoq @smorks Obviously has come up in the discussions. But there's also been some shade thrown about the developers and about lemmygrad.ml. (IYAM, the best thing to do with free software made my objectionable folks is to benefit from it yourself in spite of them. I mean, is an avowed pedophile, but people still use GCC, make, and . And the author of ReiserFS killed his wife. What can you do.)

Incredible watching all the subreddits go dark. Over 5000 of the top subreddits have now been made private. You can watch it in real-time here: reddark.untone.uk/
