tl;dr: r/Portland and r/AskPortland will go dark on June 12th in protest of the upcoming API changes.

As you all may or may not know, Reddit has adjusted their policies which will affect 3rd party apps. A detailed background of this can be found HERE

What is being asked of us is to participate in a protest against these changes. Many subreddits will be going dark (set to private) from June 12th to the 14th.

Yesterday there was a post HEREregarding our participation and in that I asked for feedback. Based on the immediate and overwhelming support for this protest we have decided that we will stand with the other subs in support. Therefore, at this time, and unless Reddit changes their mind, we will set the r/Portland and r/AskPortland subs to private for 48 hours beginning June 12th.

In the meantime, we encourage you to let Reddit know that you disagree with their planned changes

​

There are a few ways you can express your concerns:

​

• Email [email protected] or create a support ticket to communicate your opposition to their proposed modifications.

​

• Share your thoughts on other social media platforms, spreading awareness about the issue.

​

• Show your support by participating in the Reddit boycott for 48 hours, starting on June 12th.

​

I would like to thank everyone that provided feedback earlier. The Portland subs wouldn't be what they are today without all of you.
