Reddit’s new API updates announced in April may change the platform forever, but maybe not in a good way.

Thousands of Reddit communities, including some of the largest, most active like r/funny, r/gaming, r/gadgets, and r/todayilearned, have now taken a back seat as part of a coordinated protest. As the protest spread to more subreddits on Monday morning, Reddit.com began crashing, with the main homepage malfunctioning.
Here’s our coverage of the changes on Reddit.
