Upcoming Reddit Blackout: r/cybersecurity Takes a Stand for Third-Party Apps

From June 12th to June 14th, the r/cybersecurity subreddit will temporarily become private in response to Reddit’s controversial changes to its API and the consequent elimination of third-party applications. This decision comes after reviewing community feedback, which overwhelmingly supports a call for Reddit to reconsider its current policy.

If Reddit decides to maintain its stance on the recent API modifications, the r/cybersecurity community will participate in a 48-hour blackout. During this period, access to the subreddit will be restricted for new and unauthenticated users. In solidarity, we ask all community members to refrain from visiting the platform throughout the blackout. This collective action aims to demonstrate our discontent with the current situation.

We understand that this is a significant decision, and we value your input. Should the blackout proceed, the community will reconvene to discuss our next steps—whether that involves extending the protest, implementing further actions, or exploring alternative solutions. Your contributions to this conversation are encouraged.

As we navigate this challenging moment, it’s important to stay informed. For those seeking additional context, we have compiled some resources below:

  • Infographic: A concise visual representation outlining the impact of the API changes (Credit: r/videos).
  • Discussion Post: Insights on why preserving third-party applications is essential for our community.
  • Open Letter: An appeal detailing the implications of the API pricing changes on moderators and subreddit communities.
  • Community Participation: A growing list of major Reddit communities that are joining this necessary stand.

Thank you for your continued support as we advocate for a platform that respects and uplifts the myriad voices within our community. It has truly been an honor to serve alongside you. Let’s make our voices heard!
