Should we go dark?
We got a modmail about participating in the June 12th-14th protest of reddit's recent API changes.
Check out the post in /r/crochet for more information: https://redd.it/140tisb
This isn't something the moderator team wants to implement unilaterally so I'm putting it up for discussion in contest mode.
Please be civil with one another.

Yes. Apollo is what I use, without it I won’t use Reddit. My favorite feature is that it tells you how many new comments on a previously read post and it highlights those comments when you open said post. it’s a real timesaver. Apollo is pleasant and customizable, a really well thought out app.

Yes. Especially if it affects the moderation of this sub, and in solidarity with the more vulnerable communities who absolutely rely on 3rd party bots & interfaces to effectively moderate the hate and attacks those communities get targeted with.

Yes, please, for all the reasons everyone has already said. There seems to be movement toward a longer go-dark period than 2 days. I support that as well. Whatever is necessary.

Yes! For the sake of inclusivity & also this way we let Reddit know that we want them to BE better than this. Reddit could learn to appreciate all their volunteer moderators by making their life easier aka letting third party apps do their brilliant things.

I don’t really understand the changes because anything technology makes my brain hurt, but from what I hear it will make moderation more difficult and that sucks. So yeah if y’all wanna go dark I’d support that 100%
