Between killing third-party clients and now only allowing Google indexing, Reddit has withdrawn from the open web in a pretty significant way. Not sure what the impact of this will be. Feels almost Facebook-like, much more of a silo than before.

Jamie Thingelstad @bjhess Reddit had decided it isn’t part of the open web anymore.
