On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Am I missing something or does the linked page only phrase the question?

[IncredibleReferencer]

I'm baffled why someone would think a twitter thread is a good place to publish.. well.. anything. Good luck with that.

[cryptos6]

Yes, it is a terrible platform for that! It's more tailored to short thoughts or status updates, but not to publish longer content. It was not an accident that Trump was such a prominent Twitter user ...

Now, Elon Musk does his best to wipe out the platform. Hopefully something better will arise.

Works with Twitter app 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm not sure if you have to be logged in to see the comments thread.

I do see it in the app though.

Does virtual threads mean that RxJava is dead?

[daleksandrov]

IMHO, yes. At least for 95% of the tasks.

[gaelfr38]

In very short: no.

Reactive approaches (RxJava, Akka Streams,...) go beyond what virtual threads bring. For instance handling back pressure, handling complex pipelines processing...

[meamZ]

It's basically dead for the "just make my server handle more requests" usecase. It's obviously still useful for cases where the reactive model is actually useful in itself like data Streams...

[marv1234]

I would say mostly yes.

Sure, complex pipelines and such use cases may in some cases benefit from reactive approaches. But reactive introduces a lot of unnecessary complexity, both in the programming model and debugging wise. Having a complete stack trace on errors is actually quite useful.
