Google Maps has user submitted reports. I'm not sure if reports in one app reflect in the other but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think it makes a lot of sense as a series of emotional reactions, mostly from spez. He won't back down and no one can make him.
They don't want to serve ads through the API because ad buyers care about exactly how the ads will be presented. The apps would have to work very closely with Reddit to ensure consistent ad presentation, which is more work for them so they don't want to do it.
The API price was plucked out of thin air, presumably based on what they believed OpenAI/Microsoft/Google would be willing to pay. Third party apps were acceptable collateral damage.
They're not trying to fast. Sugary drinks (juice, non caffeinated soda, Gatorade, Pedialyte) are probably a good idea, plus calorie dense foods like energy bars.
TBH, it's crazy that they would engage in a public forum about such a public, contentious subject without preparing everything in advance. You'd normally want to vet your answers and make sure you don't make things worse... Which they did.
The idea is federation. No instance is obligated to scale to thousands of users if they can't handle it. If somebody else thinks they can, they're welcome to try.
Then they claim it's about commercial use but won't give open source apps a pass.
Dyson fans too. Cheap fans are quieter and produce more airflow.
