The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I know, I wrote
And? So what? Are they gonna send a SWAT team after everyone that does?
Why fight so hard to stay on a platform that clearly doesn't want you anymore?
A shit ton if people have been fighting hard for the last month. 8000 subs, people have been campaigning and making dedicated web sites to follow what's up and to connect. There's been immense effort put into this from lots of people.
A few hours of work to pull the dev's key out and make the fields editable doesn't seem like much in comparison.
(I'm not demanding anyone to put their time for free to do this or anything. I'm just curious why this was such a no-go from the start while all the other campaigns were on full throttle.)
Ed: Btw look how e.g. Nintendo is hostile to everyone and yet people keep making fan games and whatnot...
Pretty sure 99% of the people here participated in the effort, when Reddit showed they wouldn't budge after the first blackout, we knew the fight was over, why beg to stay over with your abusive partner?
Sure, they can ban the account of anyone using API keys like that, it's transparent to detect. Then they all get mad and come after the developer.
That was a nonstarter. Was not going to happen, Reddit needed those apps dead.
Chances are they could detect it and ban you. Hell I got banned from discord for interacting with their API using my own authorization token for a normal user account... To be fair my custom client was not convincing at all, but oh well.
But if you wouldn't continue with Reddit otherwise, then you don't need to care about a ban anyway.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one with that thought process. You know what I mean.
The apps' user agents and other fingerprinting detectors, which are shared by a public app, will get blocked by Reddit for breaking the API terms of service. The only way to avoid getting caught is to have the source code of the app and build it yourself with your own API key, while changing any unique fingerprints of the app.
I was thinking those fields could be editable.
Ed: Also wondering if it's actually against the rules or just spez being a twat again.
It means it would only be a temporary solution.
