[Entry Thread #91] Let’s do things differently this time. As you enter with your comment, please consider leaving your thoughts on the events this week.
Comments have been collected at 5:09 UTC.
Introduction
You all probably know the story by now. Not too long ago, we made an announcement expressing our solidarity with subreddits on the platform. Said platform is proposing changes, and now communities across the internet are making waves. I’m pretty sure you know the rest.
So let’s do something different. As we find this month’s winner and better someone’s situation, let’s also reflect on what has happened. The admins of the platform had their say, and community moderators had their say. What about you all?
Are you more optimistic about it and feel that good could come from such action? Are you pessimistic and feel that this is gonna make things harder for everyone? Or are you ambivalent and have issues of your own that take priority? It’s also worth mentioning that you are not required to leave your thoughts to enter, so feel free not to if you’d like.
(As a reminder, leave only a single top-level comment to enter. Replying to another will not count as an entry, but you could risk disqualification if you incorrectly leave a top-level comment. When you enter, also make an effort to check back when the winner is selected.)

The Future
In case you haven’t been counting, we are really close to making a difference to the lives of a hundred people here on this subreddit and hitting triple digits, not to mention the literal hundreds of thousands of people that have already participated.
In terms of moderation, the API changes can probably be worked around, just instead of moderating via a third-party app, we’ll be using our phone’s web browser to do so. In terms of operation however, we have to hope that our usage will fall under the “free tier” as mentioned in their admin post. If this is not the case, we’ll still cover the costs, but there may be an end date to operating here on this platform. Unfortunately, it’s yet another matter of waiting and seeing.
If you want to see the other things that you can do or our more detailed thoughts, please review the Announcement post here. Otherwise, if you want to continue to follow us, join the mailing list or join our Discord server. Both services also remind you to join the monthly Entry Thread, thus even more encouragement to do so.
In the meanwhile, this is a generosity subreddit, so let’s collectively make someone’s life a little bit better! The winner will be selected around 12 PM ET (16:00 UTC) on next Sunday, so check the [Draw] post!
As a reminder, when you enter, also please remember to donate a dollar to the winner. It ain’t much from one person, but when a hundred people do it…
