About Community

/r/philosophy has gone private from June 12-14 as part of the coordinated blackout to protest reddit's decision to eliminate third party apps essential to moderation and accessibility via exorbitant API pricing. You can learn more about the blackout and our demands [here](http://bit.ly/3J7AUf9) or [here](http://bit.ly/3Pa4bcK). In the event that reddit does not return to the negotiating table or reverse course, /r/philosophy may potentially permanently shut down.
