New Discord Server from /r/riddles - The Puzzle Network. Discuss Riddles, Puzzles, etc.

My fellow Riddlers, we landed gentry are excited to announce a new Discord server for riddles, puzzles, and more! As long as you feel you can participate in a friendly manner, you're welcome to join. Get Started Here.

From /r/ModCoord:

We stand with the disabled users of reddit and in our community. Starting July 1, Reddit's API policy blind/visually impaired communities will be more dependent on sighted people for moderation. When Reddit says they are whitelisting accessibility apps for the disabled, they are not telling the full story.

TL;DR

• Starting July 1, Reddit's API policy will force blind/visually impaired communities to further depend on sighted people for moderation

• When reddit says they are whitelisting accessibility apps, they are not telling the full story, because Apollo, RIF, Boost, Sync, etc. are the apps r/Blind users have overwhelmingly listed as their apps of choice with better accessibility, and Reddit is not whitelisting them. Reddit has done a good job hiding this fact, by inventing the expression "accessibility apps."

• Forcing disabled people, especially profoundly disabled people, to stop using the app they depend on and have become accustomed to is cruel; for the most profoundly disabled people, June 30 may be the last day they will be able to access reddit communities that are important to them.

If you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks:

Reddit abruptly announced that they would be charging astronomically overpriced API fees to 3rd party apps, cutting off mod tools for NSFW subreddits (not just porn subreddits, but subreddits that deal with frank discussions about NSFW topics).

And worse, blind redditors & blind mods [including mods of r/Blind and similar communities] will no longer have access to resources that are desperately needed in the disabled community.

Why does our community care about blind users?

As a mod from r/foodforthought testifies:

I was raised by a 30-year special educator, I have a deaf mother-in-law, sister with MS, and a brother who was born disabled. None vision-impaired, but a range of other disabilities which makes it clear that corporations are all too happy to cut deals (and corners) with the cheapest/most profitable option, slap a "handicap accessible" label on it, and ignore the fact that their so-called "accessible" solution puts the onus on disabled individuals to struggle through poorly designed layouts, misleading marketing, and baffling management choices. To say it's exhausting and humiliating to struggle through a world that able-bodied people take for granted is putting it lightly.

Reddit apparently forgot that blind people exist, and forgot that Reddit's official app (which has had over 9 YEARS of development) and yet, when it comes to accessibility for vision-impaired users, Reddit’s own platforms are inconsistent and unreliable. ranging from poor but tolerable for the average user and mods doing basic maintenance tasks (Android) to almost unusable in general (iOS).

Didn't reddit whitelist some "accessibility apps?"

The CEO of Reddit announced that they would be allowing some "accessible" apps free API usage: RedReader, Dystopia, and Luna.

There's just one glaring problem: RedReader, Dystopia, and Luna* apps have very basic functionality for vision-impaired users (text-to-voice, magnification, posting, and commenting) but none of them have full moderator functionality, which effectively means that subreddits built for vision-impaired users can't be managed entirely by vision-impaired moderators.

(If that doesn't sound so bad to you, imagine if your favorite hobby subreddit had a mod team that never engaged with that hobby, did not know the terminology for that hobby, and could not participate in that hobby -- because if they participated in that hobby, they could no longer be a moderator.)

Then Reddit tried to smooth things over with the moderators of r/blind. The results were... Messy and unsatisfying, to say the least.

*Special shoutout to Luna, which appears to be hustling to incorporate features that will make modding easier but will likely not have those features up and running by the July 1st deadline, when the very disability-friendly Apollo app, RIF, etc. will cease operations. We see what Luna is doing and we appreciate you, but a multimillion dollar company should not have have dumped all of their accessibility problems on what appears to be a one-man mobile app developer. RedReader and Dystopia have not made any apparent efforts to engage with the r/Blind community.

Thank you for your time & your patience.

Esteemed citizens of /r/riddles! This is your landed gentry here with the results of our democratic poll.

Democracy
In Action

A full 75% of you favor some form of protest, with "remain private" nosing out "change the definition of riddle". The people have spoken!

However, since our Lord and Master sp3z has been "democratically" removing mods of subs that have remained private, and since it's hard to continue to fight a battle if you are removed from the playing field, we your landed gentry have decided on a compromise: go public, but require approval for every submission. And of course, since we are but a humble handful of unpaid volunteers whose families do not belong to the 1%, it can take up to 2 weeks for processing and approval.

A reminder of some of what we're fighting for: Because use of the API is now prohibitively expensive, the moderators of /r/blind won't be able to moderate, nor will people who only use mobile apps and not the website. 3rd party apps exist for a reason: because there are some things the native apps just can't/don't do, and for many people this goes far beyond "inconvenient".

We and the 3rd party devs we stand in solidarity with thank you for your support.

I'm sure many here are aware that changes to Reddit's API are coming. These API changes will kill the third party apps that built Reddit into the community we enjoy today, make moderation more difficult, and will generally be harmful for users' experience. This is because Reddit is planning an IPO this year and is making an effort to quickly boost revenue, even if it costs them the platform in the long run. It only matters to them that they appear profitable when they cash out.

Learn more about this here.

[EDIT - ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: There has been a new development in the protest. Reddit has threatened several subreddits forcing them to re-open, pitting moderators against each other and attempting to pit users against moderators. /r/memes is currently only allowing landed gentry memes in response to a comment from sp3z.]

Our Suggestion

Seeing the actions of other communities like /r/memes and /r/programmerhumor, the mod team have discussed our next steps, and our preference is to open the community, but with a twist. Instead of requiring text posts, we would like to require image/media posts. Instead of focusing the community on word puzzle riddles, we would like to focus the community on other variants on the word Riddle:

• Things "riddled" with something else
• Things featuring Tom "sp3z" Riddle
• Things that rhyme with "riddle" or "riddles"

How do we want to respond as a community? Feel free to voice your thoughts in the comments, and please complete this survey

I can be cracked, made, told, or kept. I can bring joy or make you weep. I’m not alive, yet I can die. What am I?

What is the connection between Captain Cook, Star Trek, a mythical city under the sea, Captain Scott and an open window?

My first attempt to write a riddle, hope you guys like it~

​

I can be circular, rectangular, or in any shape.

Swim inside me as you may.

Invest in me to enter the play.

Careful careful don't lose the game,

or you cannot get back what you've paid.

Reverse my name you still can say,

becoming circular is then my fate.

What am I?

1. Where is the rare location that today comes before yesterday?

Birds flying high, put a lump in your throat. Don't believe my lies or they'll sink your boat.

Who was the Dark Rider?

The Dark Rider rode up to battle just in time,

to partake in his nation's long defeat.

He lowered his Black Tulip banner,

or passed it off to be discreet.

Oft his enemies took no notice,

until the moment he drew near.

His victims were counted up so high,

nigh one for every day of the year.

What freezes faster than cold water?

!skin!<

Before any changes I’m a garlic or spice. My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device. My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom. The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb. Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine. Change the last for a chart plotted with lines. What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?

Who was the thief?

A thief planned the perfect caper.

He would take the ransom and vanish like vapor.

No one knew if he was dead or afoot,

but he did say hello to bigfoot.

I have many eyes, french fried I'll see you dead

​

I am a liquid, hard to say. A rotten fish some may say. To the rest, I am tangy and savory. A bit like British innit? And if you innit, a "rocking horse" cockney is the secret. Home is a place where I am named. L & P are my parents name. But, who can say my finest name?

I have two eyes

but can not see

I'm hot when cold

both Red and green

What am I?

What’s the answer to the riddle ‘What’s the smartest substance in the world?’

I can be blown, but I'm not a breeze. I can be sucked, but I'm not a straw. I can be wet, but I'm not water. What am I?

Little catastrophe of age modern
Lacking the vision to discern
Corporate investment lack
In linemen, pole and track
A symbolic strike of electricity
Born of fire or financial duplicity

Riddles with ''library'' as the answer?

What do you call a person without a body nor a nose?

First I was yellow, now I am white. Salty or sweet, I crunch with each bite. What am I?

Fear is not mine in the forest, I am all you see and more, I walk the path unseen, What am I?

What is

Set in place so long ago

When trees and forests were first made known

From sunset to the sunrise among young and old

Recalled in stories when the past is told

1+1 doesn’t equal 2 but when you add 59 it equals 2 why. The new one will be 1+1+59=2 explain

As the moderation team of /r/riddles, we have concerns about recent changes to Reddit.

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users, including but not limited to text-to-voice technology for redditors with visual impairments.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader to Relay.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.

This isn't only a problem for users: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

Accordingly, the moderation team of /r/riddles is declaring its opposition to this API pricing change, and will be shutting down the subreddit in solidarity for at least 5 days starting June 12th. Yes, we are a small, low-traffic sub and our going dark will not have the same impact as the large subs going dark, but in addition to standing in solidarity with other subreddit moderators, many of the mod team, who are redditors just like you, will be boycotting reddit during that time.

Find out what you can do to help at /r/Save3rdPartyApps - or, if you moderate a subreddit, its sister sub /r/ModCoord.

Can you guess the title of this phrase? You can comment below with your answers and we will tell you.
Everything after this paragraph will be part of the riddle. Thanks!
What is a phrase with five words in it?

1. The first is the first at the start.
2. The second is the third of the first and the second.
3. The, third is.
4. The fourth is something hidden, that sounds like you are trying to find Rhett.
5. The fifth sounds like two together: 1) the first of messiness. 2) The last of baggage.
