Oneof the current moderators confirmed to Bored Panda that the sub has officially “shut its doors in protest of Reddit’s API changes,” which happened in June 2023. It’s a big loss for the internet.

However, if subreddits like ours can help boost these companies, then all the better,” the sub moderator told us earlier. “There does not need to be a financial loss for kindness. Money spent on good design can pay dividends in this brave new global economy.” We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all of this. Be sure to share your opinions in the comments!
