Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots

The reddit community that I’m still sort of active in relies on RSS in order to run and judge contests. We have a portal which sucks comments in via RSS because they revoked the API key which was used for the same purpose.
Without RSS, we’ll either have to come up with some other way to pull in reddit comments, or force everyone to use PieFed.
My vote is for the latter, of course!

They’re very much making it hard to be a mod. I wish my community would follow me here.

reddits plan is to have AI mods to fully automate subreddits eventually. enough witht he pesky human ones that soured them in the past.

Yeah I can definitely tell. I’ve gotten so many messages from people about why things have been removed. I have no idea all I can see is “removed by reddit.” I don’t even know what your posted.
