The wording is double speak and I don't think they've made their minds up yet.
No volunteer will want to work with an org that will boot them off when they need to use an app to make their lives easier to moderate because reddit wants to monetize. Quality will suffer as respectable moderators won't be sticking around.
If reddit was more strategic, they'd build a moderation tool that's just as good to replace Apollo. Then maybe this issue might have been less of a problem -- more importantly, they should have engaged with the moderators in the first place. But I think at the senior management level, they're too focused on monetizing their data which resulted in this knee jerk reaction.
Glint is an integrated framework with the platform but it does not limit you to just using the framework. The platform is designed to be as extensible as possible, worry not about being locked in :)
I work at Beacon.io and it's an awesome place to be. Kirat is indeed a rockstar and it's awesome to work with an CEO that knows great code. We also landed a Series C last month and we're growing :)
I have a friend that went through this exact thing. He's helped with Facebook to design better accessibility features at one point. He used to be a developer and did photography and most inspiringly he still does photography even while blind which I think is an inspiration.
Spend time now to learn about accessibility features on different systems, iPhone, android, your PC. Look into how to navigate into them. Look up screen readers as you may use them to have them read content from the web for you. Be an advocate for accessibility features and their standardization as this is often forgotten with developers.
I've posted a link below to a video of my friend, if you'd like to reach out to him, PM me. It's a definitely challenging time. I've known him since before and after going blind so he may give some advice from his experience.
I've taken a look at the many threads happening here and a large number of people discussing the "worthlessness" of the having a stable coin because of the lack of volatility vs the USD.
I'm actually quite interested in the outcome of this, especially because of transaction fees for credit card payments are so high. For some places in Asia, Japan in particular has credit card transaction fees of in the 3.6% range and going up to 4.5% for international cards.
For businesses selling services in the $2500 range, just at 3.6% of this transaction becomes $90 in fees just for a single transaction. Which, I think, is quite high just for moving a digital asset around.
While the prospects of "trading" this asset might not be as interesting, the potential for far lower transaction fees for people running a business seems very attractive to me.
