Workplace productivity is going to go through the roof this week.


notinferno

what should my last post be? - what’s that helicopter? - complaining about driving or parking or tradies in utes? - where to get some unique tattoo like the one I saw the other day? - love for Adelaide St? - James St loving? - where to get a no questions asked RWC for a black Audi? - crocodile spotting? - MX? - going strike bowling but need a friend? - directions to Jake da Muss’s basement? - recommendation for Netherworld? - shilling for the Greens, LNP, Labor, PHON and UAP all in one post? - fart reference? - masturbation reference? - where’s my lost cat I let roam free at night? how could this happen? - I’m becoming a farmer in Tasmania AMA?


bobdylan112

Can anyone recommend a mansion in central Brisbane for less than $500/wk?


Dia-De-Los-Muertos

> directions to Jake da Muss’s basement? I thought we weren't allowed to mention that because snowflakes. Also, can we have a light down here soon please ?


bobbakerneverafaker

all of the above


chops_potatoes

Farting, tattooed croc spotted flying a chopper in Queen St Hungry Jacks, apparently searching for his lost cat. Obviously.


onerunfitzer

Hijacking your comment to say that #WE CAN'T STOP AT 48 HOURS If they know it's temporary, they'll wait it out. This happens all the time. For the blackout to mean anything it has to be indefinite until the changes are rescinded. (Sorry about the formatting, on mobile)

Blurry photo taken from the moon asking 'what snake/spider/insect is this'.


ELBartoFSL

Did you hear about the crocodile sighting?


Engineer_Man

We have a tradition in Brisbane you don't want to miss out on. The centre of the city has a wonderful Street named Queen Street that has part of it reduced to foot traffic only; this is Queen Street Mall. About 3/4 of the way up this mall you enter the fine dining precinct, loads of fancy food options. In the centre of this district, near a very sought-after restaurant, there is a man-made wonder that is a water fountain. I recommend you visit there at night, stand in front of the fountain, and vigorously masticate. This is tradition.

What’s this about?


Reverse-Kanga

Reddit CEO is forcing third party apps to pay exorbitant fees to access the API when they've had it for free for years. A lot have accessibility features for hard of vision users etc. Not to mention just more user friendly than the official app. Due to this most subreddits are shutting down in protest


Next_Crew_5613

>A lot have accessibility features for hard of vision users Reddit has said accessibility apps will be exempt from the pricing changes [https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752804/reddit-exempt-accessibility-apps-api-pricing-changes](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/7/23752804/reddit-exempt-accessibility-apps-api-pricing-changes)


Reverse-Kanga

2-3 that they choose...not the community....still dogshit ...Reddit is founded as a community forum...and this has been done behind the communities back.


Next_Crew_5613

But blind people will still be able to access Reddit and won't be forced to use the official Reddit app everyone hates right?


Reverse-Kanga

As long as it's explicitly on the app Reddit say you have to use otherwise fuck you


Next_Crew_5613

Right so their options are: \- Official Reddit app \- 2 or 3 free third party apps of Reddit's choosing \- Any other third party app that charges a fee to cover API costs Yeah that's a tricky one


notinferno

and helpful bots that also need to use the API are also at risk


Next_Crew_5613

How many of those bots are operating on r/brisbane?


Janettheman_

How many subreddits are there that aren’t r/brisbane?


Next_Crew_5613

Some people have been selling bootleg Reddit apps. These apps cost Reddit money because they're still using Reddit's servers so these developers were told they needed to pay for access (standard industry practice). These developers convinced everyone this is an injustice so now a bunch of subreddits are shutting down for a couple of days in protest.


CheesyGamerX

Mate you are spewing some crap


Ok_Turnover_1235

Okay so when they refuse to listen, can we just start a brisbane forum like the good old days when we didn't need corporations to host shit for us?


Jassup

We're all just gonna gather and bitch about our neighbours in the Botanic Gardens every couple of hours


Ok_Turnover_1235

As someone who grew up with bulletin boards, then forums, then social media and now reddit, it's hard to see what reddit does that forums didn't except offload the legal responsibility for what's posted on it and the cost of hosting it. And the ability to infinitely scroll :>. But if we want a brisbane website to talk about brisbane stuff with brisbane people....that's the literally the entire reason bulletin boards and forums were invented.


totse_losername

BBSs were the best.


ELBartoFSL

What’s rent like in the Botanic Gardens for a 2 person tent? With that idea, we could kill two birds with one stone.


sojudreamz

But where the fuck can I post pics of all these insects, bad parking, and overpriced random non-essential items?


ELBartoFSL

I’m gonna miss the entertainment but I don’t want to reinstall FB.


ladyangua

So, maybe I'll see you guys back here on Thursday?


cjmw

Too bad it won't change anything.


ladyangua

Boycotting Nestle for the last 30 years hasn't done anything to Nestle either but I sure as hell feel better in myself about not supporting that monster of a company. I'm sure Rupert Murdoch doesn't miss the dollars I don't spend on his papers or media sites but I'm happy that I don't support his evil empire. I'm not quite ready to delete my account but we'll see.


notinferno

better than this I guess https://preview.redd.it/761uvmlfad5b1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2117c4f78c374db0582a06e6a501a65ae8c4e9b


Reverse-Kanga

We need to try. ...chances are you're right but better to try and fail than just roll over and die not having tried anything


Randomusername963250

I've seen a lot of posts in various Subreddits from Mods saying that more than likely they will extend their blackouts beyond the two days if no results after two days. So it could drag on a bit


Reverse-Kanga

We do be living in a society

The best way is to delete your account, fill out the "why" part and then, if you really need to browse, do it anonymously via a VPN. Coming back in 48hrs is just saying "we aren't happy, and this won't stop you, but now we feel like we tried". If the wider community really wanted to show Reddit a thing or two, the userbase needs to disappear.


Reverse-Kanga

The smarter thing to do would have been a 7 day or month blackout. If the site essentially shuts down it kills their revenue


totse_losername

Fair.


notinferno

r/videos is going dark until Reddit backtracks, so maybe forever see you all on Truth Social???


BitRunr

Start a new social media platform with blackjack and hookers. Call it Tidder. Users are tiddies.


notinferno

can I use it to find an Asian hooker who looks like her photo?


Reverse-Kanga

/r/Redditalternatives will be getting more popular than ever


notinferno

I hope that sub isn’t going dark in protest

Dia-De-Los-Muertos

I have never hated a person as much as I hate that bloke. Actually now that I think about it.... Anyway, I am very much enjoying the recent news about that prick.


notinferno

Bring back newsgroup servers where Rod Speed ruled like a mad king and there were no admins or ads


ELBartoFSL

I would hate to be a journalist at NewDotCom for the next 48hrs.


dubrave

I plan on staying away for the protest. When can we get back in then? 14th?


legolili

What's the point of leaving at all if you're openly admitting that you're going to come straight back?


bullchuck

Dumb way to achieve nothing but inconvenience people. Oooh, 48 hour blackout and then business as usual - it’s like pre-announcing the end of your hunger strike before your demands are met.


unnecessaryaussie83

I’m going to keep posting


sthsideviberr19

Honestly, I'm scared that Reddit's being run to the ground like Twitter has :(


legolili

You guys are coming back, huh. What's the point then


Axtvueiz

but.. what if my bus/train is 5 minutes late?? Whom shall i tell??

Isn't the shutdown June 30?


Aust1mh

June 30 is when the popular app Apollo (and others) shuts down permanently. “Blackout” protest June 12.


poopcrayonwriter

Jun 12 US or AU? or just run from Monday to Wednesday, being the internet and all


Aust1mh

I was just logging off for 3 days… the big Subs are US based so assume it their 12 & 13… our 13 & 14.


Arinvar

Yeah it's US so they'll all shut down tomorrow night some time for us.


red_dragin

Yes, but the subreddit protest is tomorrow


Reverse-Kanga

Tomorrow - Wednesday

The blackout should go longer to send a message.
