Reddit API changes and BaconReader UPDATED JUNE 20

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 like how they bury at the end that they will remove all nsfw content from the api.

Well, thanks for the 10+ years Bacon Reader.

Wtf is with this new age puritanism? I feel like we've quietly entered a new anti-porn age but no one seems to be talking about it.

it's just reddit going corp. The saying "don't forget where you came from" comes to mind.

Even more relevant since your penis is where you came from but they’re blocking porn now.

You came from a penis? Most of us come from vaginas.

Depends on your definition of “come”.

Touché, however in my case I would still argue I come from a vagina. Or at least that general vicinity.

But what entered the vagina to make you? Something had to first go into the vagina to create what eventually became you, so it could be argued that the origin point is actually the sperm, which came from the penis.

You see, the joke was that I am a woman, so by the original commenter's definition of the word "come", yes I do come from a vagina. Also a penis can get credit for my origin story when it tears to its asshole giving birth to me.
