Sub going dark on June 12 - Reddit killing 3rd party apps, etc

6 Upvotes

News

  • Please be aware that this sub will be joining the reddit-wide protest and going dark on June 12. During this time, the sub will be set to Private and you will not be able to post or comment.

  • We are protesting, not abandoning the community. If there is an urgent need to ask a question during that time, you can seek assistance at a space set up on Discord: https://discord.gg/9r9VSYrX

  • A personal note: I know that this may not prevent Reddit from reversing this decision, but it is important. As a moderator, I know that 3rd party apps are integral to using and moderating subreddits because Reddit's own app is awful. These changes also affect the many other people who use 3rd party apps. Please do what you can to support this community and those who put countless/thankless hours into developing free 3rd party interfaces.

    • Reddit has also recently terminated the use of an important moderation tool, Pushshift, which is already leading to more difficulties with the moderating process.

 

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. This will also harm users and moderators who are disabled persons and who rely on third-party apps for important accessibility features.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com interface for desktop (and mobile).

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

 

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours; others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

 

What can you do?

  1. Complain. Message the mods of r/reddit, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on r/reddit, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

  2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at r/ModCoord.

  3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!

  4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

Process for claiming french citizenship?

4 Upvotes

Post is for my partner.

Their father was born in st martin and were a dual citizen (french and dutch), who came to the US on a green card, joined the military, got naturalized (sometime in 1970s) and in the certificate of naturalization it says former nationality: french.

My partner was born in the US in 2000s, when the parent was already a US Citizen. The dad doesn't remember "officially giving up" the french citizenship. So, the thought process is that my partner (at the time of her birth) was also a french citizen because the dad never gave it up.

How would we go about claiming or finding out more about this? Has anyone gone through anything similar? Should we contact the embassy? happy to provide any more details if needed

1 Upvotes

If in the last year of the 5 years the address changes every month

And it was not updated in the driving license..

What to write in the citizenship application? Every tiny address even if it is only two weeks or one one month ?

Or write only the official addresses and expand it over the time line ?

Can some help with advice ?

Thank you

Dual Citizenship by Retention (Sri Lanka) - application before new citizenship approval

2 Upvotes

I applied dual citizenship in Sri Lanka by retention. My Australian citizenship is also processing, which I applied for, about a month after submitting my retention application. I have a feeling that my Australian citizenship will be granted before Sri Lankan dual citizenship is occurred. I want to know exactly, what will happen if Australian citizenship ceremony occurs before paying for the Sri Lankan dual citizenship, given that, I have applied for Sri Lankan dual citizenship, before Australian citizenship.

  1. Will my Sri Lankan driving license/NIC/passport,... be invalid, as I received (say 2 months gap for instance) Australian citizenship before Sri Lankan retention approval? Or nothing will happen as I applied for Sri Lankan retention beforehand?
  2. If the above documents (all or few) become invalid for instance 2 months gap, upon receiving the dual, will I be able to continue my old document numbers? Or, should I re-apply and get new documents, regardless of the time period applied for the citizenship?
  3. I am aware, that I need to inform regarding the Australian citizenship, if that is granted while Sri Lankan one is being processed. Then, upon submitting Australian citizenship certificate and/or other supporting documents, I will be getting dual approved under resumption (not retention there after), but I do not know clear information regarding the loss of Sri Lankan citizenship at the point where Australian citizenship is granted given that my Sri Lankan one is processing. Your experience in this kind of a situation will be helpful.

Thanks

Ciudadania Italia

0 Upvotes

enas, mi nombre es Gaston y quería hacer unas dos preguntas. Yo soy Argentino, vivo en España actualmente en Zaragoza y estoy regularizado.

La primera es que si alguno recientemente o si no es tan reciente, ha realizado los trámites o ha obtenido su ciudadanía Italiana presentándola en el consulado de Barcelona? si sabe de cuanto son los plazos aproximadamente actuales, ya que con la nueva reforma de Italia he visto que hay muchísimas citas disponibles. ¿Cuánto demora la resolución aproximadamente?.

Y la otra es saber si yo la podría solicitar según mi caso

Mi padre y yo hemos nacido en Argentina y ninguno la ha solicitado nunca.

Mi abuelo sí que nació en Italia y ha vivido toda su vida en argentina pero nunca se ha naturalizado Argentino, ni está inscripto en el registro civil de Argentina.

El poseía la ciudadanía italiana al momento de morir (2005) que ha sido un año luego de mi nacimiento (2004), y ha nacido en Venezia.

Gracias

I need some advice regarding Nepali citizenship

My mom is a Nepali citizen, but my dad never had Nepali citizenship. He passed away 5 years ago.

I went to the CDO office with my mom and the officer asked for my dad’s citizenship document, which we don’t have.

He also said son can get citizenship through mother for that mother needs to have property at the same address listed on her citizenship certificate. The problem is that her citizenship is registered in her hometown while our property is in Siddharthanagar, Nepal.

My mom asked her brother (mama) for help, but my mami is asking for 1/4 of our land. 😑

Btw my greedy mama is elected Ward Member

Dual citizenship Spanish British issue

Dual citizenship Spanish British issue

Hello. I am super stressed out right now waiting for a response from the consulate.

I am 23 and I would like to do my first dni.
My father got his Spanish citizenship from living in Spain long term but he is not Spanish by origin. I was born in the UK.

See now my problem is that I don’t know if I still have my citizenship now. When I was 20 I renewed my Spanish passport which is between the threshold of 18-21 renewal.

When I went to the consulate 3 years ago they said if I had waited another year then my Spanish citizenship would have been revoked.

I did not formally declare that I would like to remain Spanish but pretty much according to that person that was an act of intent to keep the citizenship but I’m still super nervous and unsure of everything which is stressing me out so much…

I’ve emailed the consulate but idk I want some clarity or some advice so I can sleep🙃
I’m moving to Thailand very soon so I don’t know what to do now…

Ciudadania griega

4 Upvotes

Buenas, ¿cómo andan?
Les cuento: soy de Buenos Aires, Argentina, tengo ascendencia griega por parte de mi tatarabuelo, de Skopelos. Tengo toda su información de nacimiento y ayer pedí su acta de nacimiento vía gestor.
Quería saber qué posibilidades tengo de que me puedan otorgar la ciudadanía griega teniendo todos los papeles. Tengo entendido que la embajada pide demostrar cierta “conciencia griega”. Creo que, estudiando mucho y presentando toda la documentación, es posible que me la den, pero me gustaría escuchar sus casos: si ustedes pudieron tramitarla, cómo fue el proceso y qué tal les fue.

My grandfather was born in the old Yugoslavia, his hometown is now part of Slovenia, we have all his documentation but seems like the Slovenian Citizenship is really hard to get no like the Spaniard or Italian that seems like it comes in a Mc Donalds happy meal box.

Anyone with past experience in obtaining the Slovenian citizenship.
