Several Reddit communities, including the cryptocurrency community, have unanimously decided to move their content to private or read-only mode between June 12 and June 14 in protest of Reddit’s upcoming new policy that blocks the use of third-party applications.
In April, Reddit announced plans to modify the way users interact with the Reddit Data API. The Reddit Data API has been available for seven years and enables developers to create tools and utilities for moderation and other activities. Most subreddits oppose Reddit's new policy because Reddit's intention to build local moderator tools directly affects the community's ability to create and use third-party tools, which are mainly used to moderate content and interactions.
