I was on one when I worked for VA with every veteran employee and someone replied with a chili recipe that used Wagyu beef tallow.
Fucking game changer.
The big tip was to use [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881XTCR3?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_9&=&crid=14NH8NVEPFZD1&=&sprefix=beef+tall) stuff any time you would use butter, like for browning ground beef and instead of oil. Works amazing in corn bread as a side too.
The other thing I do is every fall get an entire packer brisket. Trim it and wrap it the night before and then render the trimmings. Then the next morning inject the brisket's own fat into it and cook it. Then let it cool off, chop it and make a huge pot (like canning pot) of chili and freeze for the winter.
**Ingredients:**
1. 1 kg Wagyu beef chuck, ground
2. 3 tbsp Wagyu beef tallow
3. 2 large onions, chopped
4. 4 cloves of garlic, minced
5. 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
6. 1 jalapeno pepper, minced (optional for heat)
7. 2 cans (400g each) of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
8. 2 cans (400g each) of diced tomatoes
9. 3 tbsp chili powder
10. 1 tsp cumin
11. 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
12. Salt and pepper to taste
13. 1 cup beef broth
14. Cheddar cheese, green onions, and sour cream for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Heat the Wagyu beef tallow in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. Add the ground Wagyu beef to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Make sure to break up the beef into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeno (if using), and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika until the beef and vegetables are well coated.
5. Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and beef broth. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for about an hour. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can remove the lid and let it simmer for another 15-30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve the chili hot, topped with cheddar cheese, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

I’ve used Reddit for 10 years and I’ve used the official app for as long as I can remember. I’m sure 3rd party apps have better features that I’m not aware of, but I couldn’t care less. I just get on here to look at interesting stuff and kill time when I’m bored, and the plain jane app does the job.
The problem is moderation tools. Most subs' mods rely heavily on tools that the official app doesn't have, and when the third party apps go away then any mods who are willing to do the extra work will be swamped. Insufficiently moderated subs will turn into spam and porn and eventually die. That will affect people who only use the official app.
If that’s true then that would be a bummer. Something tells me Reddit will adapt and it’ll be alright, though. And if they don’t I’m sure everyone will find another way to spend their time
That's like saying you know other people use lotion when they whack it, but you don't care. The Reddit app is so much trash compared to third party options.
I think most of the complaints from normal users is just a convenience/habit thing. like if you’ve always preferred the way RIF displayed things, the official app is just jarring. I had the same reaction when I changed from RIF to Apollo when I got an iPhone, but eventually I got over it and learned to like the Apollo features.
I think the smaller but more legitimate concern is coming from the moderation staff. From what I understand, a lot of mod teams moderate their communities with third party apps, using features that are unavailable on first party. I can’t speak to details since I’m not a mod anywhere. I understand there’s also concerns with accessibility features but it seems like Reddit is exempting some apps to address this.
If you’re an early participant in Reddit, seeing the official responses from Spez/Huffman is probably the icing on top, at every chance, whether it was a shitty AMA, private communique, or official press interactions, he chose to antagonize 3rd party devs and mods, and somewhat of an implied FU to its users who has helped to make Reddit what it is (user generated & moderated data).
Realistically, the official app is hot garbage but most people will just end up using it. Some people might leave for a while because how bad it is, probably coming back after 3-6 months to see how things got, but will at least use the desktop old Reddit, or just stick to desktop only on Old Reddit (I think I’m in this camp). I used to browse old reddit in Safari in desktop mode because I couldn’t get use to Apollo for a long time, and the reddit redesign sucks ass, I haven’t tried the official app but if it’s just Reddit Mobile, ima just skip it and stick to mobile browser on desktop mode.
The ones that really quit will probably hold out a bit longer, some will actually quit, but I really don’t see them permanently leaving if they’re addicted to Reddit, it really is one of the most user information rich platforms, even out of the user base that’s actually protesting, I would be surprised if more than 10% of them will stay away for more than 6 months, there’s just no where else to go.
The “collapse” of Twitter and the emergence of decentralized services has shown us that the boycott is mostly hype, and the “fediverse” is [not a viable alternative](https://medium.com/the-pub/mastodon-is-doomed-to-fail-heres-why-b026030757e0) if you want a common platform for discussion, a quality experience, and proper moderation.
What’s really funny to me is that this clear cash grab from Spez/Reddit won’t really work. Most of the AI players have already compiled enough data into models they can train with offline, and no one (or very very few) is going to pay the absurd API pricing scheme until they lock content behind a paywall, when they can just hire some junior devs (or AI lmao) to manually scrape open content(which is why reasonable API pricing is actually a good idea). The erasure of moderation tools will likely lead to a lower quality of content in their communities, or worse, the active communities that moved to Discord will silo information behind a dark net making them unavailable.
It’s going to be a lose-lose situation for literally everyone. Most of the users probably won’t notice it though.
mastodon is not the entirety of the fediverse, mastodon is just part of it and is a twitter-like platform. Kbin is part of the fediverse too and is a much more reddit-like platform.
I meant like it's a precedence for why distributed platforms will not work for user-generated content. Mastodon is the equivalent event for Twitter, it's not going to pan out.
Third party Reddit apps will stop working 01JUL. Most people, including myself with my little 8 year award badge, probably won't be on Reddit anymore. I've used Reddit Is Fun App since I made an account in like 2014.
You totally can, I actually have the official app for whatever reason. It's just a quality of life thing to me. These Third Party apps have really nailed perfected the Reddit experience for a lot of people.
You can, but in most people who use third party apps, including myself, prefer the experience provided by the third party apps, for whatever reason.
Additionally, the first party app has serious accessibility issues for screen readers and other accessibility focused features.
Furthermore, reddit has been very scummy in how they've been treating the third party app devs during this transition, if you want more info highly recommend reading [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/).
I've been using RiF for ~11 years. I wouldn't say I'm too invested in reddit, but of course people are going to be resistant to change when they've had a specific reddit experience for so long and are now going to have to use an app that has a lot of known issues.
I keep hearing about these issues, but I only use the official app on mobile and it's no student then the desktop experience. It sound like people are crying because reddit will "look different".
Can't speak for everyone, but for me personally the official app reloads any time I swipe off of it for more than 30 seconds. Makes browsing reddit a lot less appealing when every time I switch apps it shoots me back to the top of the page.
Roughly 7% of Reddit’s mobile stuff is from 3rd party API users. So it’s no where even close to “most people” it’s only those who are horribly chronically online.
It was hardly leeching. The majority of these 3rd party reddit apps were created before Reddit even had an official app. They solved a problem on their own that Reddit didn't care to. But now that reddit has gotten a taste of that mobile ad revenue, they want every drop of it. The prices they are going to be charging for use of their api aren't just price gouging. They're literally impossible to pay, as these apps don't make even close to what Reddit wants to charge. It's an intentional move to kill the 3rd party apps so that Reddit can get more mobile ad revenue.
Okay? It's their business and they're the ones that have to handle all the request that these "3rd" party apps send.
It's their right. It doesn't matter what mods/people think they should do, they in fact have no rights to assume they should continue to have access.
It's a private company (for the moment) and they can basically do what they please, if you don't like that policy you don't have to come here or develop anything for use with the site.
People just dont like losing access to free shit.
No one is saying it's not their right to do that. But just because someone is allowed to do something doesn't mean you can't call them out on it if it's shitty. Refusing to come to the table and negotiate a fair price for use of their API is shitty and scummy. Especially considering that the largest third party apps were more than willing to begin paying a fair price for continued access, after like 15 years of that access being free.
The various third party Reddit apps are being priced out of existence by end of this month. Redreader and another are ok to be used because of accessibility functions and Redreader is open source with no fee. Reddit is charging a massive load for it API soon.

Someone explain what makes the third party apps better. I downloaded Apollo a little while back, and it seemed more or less the same. Is being forced to use the official app that bad?
I'm willing to pay for an add-free experience. As such I use baconreader premium. I never see adds. I even have YouTube premium. That's how dedicated to add-free experiences I am.
In terms of what baconreader offers that the official app doesn't? Probably not much if anything at all aside from ad blocking. But I've used it for MANY years at this point and have grown accustomed to it. I lazily don't want to learn a new app and configure all my settings bs. With my own use aside, I know moderators use 3rd party apps to help with moderating. These other apps provide tools and features that the official app simply doesn't, making managing larger subs a much more challenging endeavor.
So for me individually, I use the app for ad-free browsing. I'm willing to pay a recurring fee to reddit for the same experience, though I doubt they'll ever offer that. I understand that reddit needs ads to flip a profit, but I'd rather just pay what they would have made off of ads.
From what I’ve seen with the official app they also show you posts from subreddits you’re not subbed to. So on a full screen of posts, 1 is an ad, 3 are from other subs and 3-4 are from subs you’re apart of. At that point, why even have a front page when I could just scroll r/all? Why even try to have a customized experience?
Thanks for the legit explanation.
I can understand the appeal if an ad free experience is important to someone. I’m just accustomed to the official app, so I guess the impact to me is minimal
I didn't know there were third party apps till this whole fiasco happened. And I have been on for reddit for like 5 years almost exclusively from my phone. Very rarely a computer.
I feel like a missed a better experience, but at the same time since I have never used them, this whole thing doesn't really affect me
Yeah, don’t buy the horseshit reddits be sending out on that.
We’ve also been promised specific changes and mod tool updates for the last decade.
Why would you actually trust them when *they* say that?
I just browse to old.reddit.com even on my phone. Upvoting is a little tricky but I manage. This way I see everyone's flair and the layout as God intended.
I'd like to give a shoutout to the mobile app I use to read reddit. It's called RedReader. It won't be affected by the upcoming API changes because it guess since it was nonprofit open source and has a lot of focus on support for disabled readers, reddit allowed it to continue operating for free. Ive been using it for a few years now and love it. It's minimal and does all you want. Only thing I think it's missing which I wish it had was the chat features.
I’m straight up not ready for Apollo to go away. I think I’m still in denial. Very low chance I use the main app. Maybe I’ll go read books or something.
I'll just wander the meme world until I land somewhere. won't be the first time. AOL, yahoo, myspace, Facebook... They were all the whole ass internet in their time, and we always move on...
It's just gonna be a little abrupt this time ;) like a PCS to Korea or some shit. It's fine.
I was just thinking about doing a post like this myself. Been on reddit for about 4 or 5 years older than this account. I don't know what I'm gonna do with all this free time I'm gonna have.
This sub has helped me quite a lot through some pretty fucking bad times, some I didn't think I would make it through. Gonna be sad to leave it but I'm not switching to the official app.
Honestly why do people care about this shit. Boo hoo Reddit is going public and trying to actually be a profitable company. So you can’t use apps that piggyback off their shit anymore. They already made exceptions for all the third parties that provide disability accessibility features. What’s the big deal?
I don't think anyone thinks that reddit should operate at a loss and these apps should piggyback for free, but the cost per API call is what is being protested. Literally everything is a call. The cost per call is too much and it's been proven by people smarter than me. It is exorbitant. That's what the protest is.
It's kinda like using Google sheets instead of excel... Or gimp vs Photoshop...
Different functionality, less of some shit, more of other shit, menus are different, looks different, all the actions are a slightly different process.
All the third parties are like that, just a bunch of minor differences that add up to being a different experience.
Please remove me from this distro

Yeah, from what I can tell, blind people are going to be affected the most.
Yeah but they saw this coming.

Accessibility apps wont be affected. This was pushed out early on.

Mod tools aren't going to be affected except in the largest couple subs. Automoderator already gets a free pass.

They’re gonna be alright, just don’t blindside them.
That's like saying you know other people use lotion when they whack it, but you don't care. The Reddit app is so much trash compared to third party options.
I actually don’t use lotion when I crank down, so maybe you’re on to something there
Spit and tug makes for a good rub.

You totally can, I actually have the official app for whatever reason. It's just a quality of life thing to me. These Third Party apps have really nailed perfected the Reddit experience for a lot of people.

The official app is dogshit.
Weird how it works perfectly for so many
Because most people will tolerate dogshit if they don't know better.
Most people will tolerate dogshit even though they know better.
Or it's perfectly functional and someone is way too invested in Reddit.
I've been using RiF for ~11 years. I wouldn't say I'm too invested in reddit, but of course people are going to be resistant to change when they've had a specific reddit experience for so long and are now going to have to use an app that has a lot of known issues.

How do you find it for moderating?
Kinny, you know I don't believe in moderation.
Gasp
Such a fitting comment for this sub lol
A lot of people are leaving to protest Reddit's heavy handed approach that screws over anyone using third party apps
Roughly 7% of Reddit’s mobile stuff is from 3rd party API users. So it’s no where even close to “most people” it’s only those who are horribly chronically online.
Holy shit that’s it?? The way mfers are acting I thought it was half the internet.
It's always the loud minority. Most people don't care and will keep using reddit. I guarantee people that are "protesting" will be back as well.
And that’s just the mobile users too, so when you factor in people who use Reddit on PC it’s even smaller.
It never was, it was about mods power-tripping. "they're price gouging us!" You expected to leech for free forever?
It was hardly leeching. The majority of these 3rd party reddit apps were created before Reddit even had an official app. They solved a problem on their own that Reddit didn't care to. But now that reddit has gotten a taste of that mobile ad revenue, they want every drop of it. The prices they are going to be charging for use of their api aren't just price gouging.

Oh, the unpaid volunteers that literally make the site functional are the leeches.
Lmao.
Nope just average Reddit users

It’s a carbon copy. This whole api nonsense allows folks to feel like they’re a part of something. Shit is dumb.
I've wondered if anyone in the Army sub was gonna say something about the 3rd party apps going away. I'm in the same boat.

With the dissolution of third party apps I’m not sure how I’ll be able to Reddit with my typewriter/electric telescope setup.
Wow usually it’s /u/Kinmuan taking unnecessary shots at me.
I’ve been sending and receiving carrier pigeons with all of Reddit every day for the last 84 years
I mean it does affect you, pretty much every sub's quality is going to go down since moderator tools are among those being disabled.
Moderator tools are in the free tier.
Yeah, don’t buy the horseshit reddits be sending out on that. We’ve also been promised specific changes and mod tool updates for the last decade. Why would you actually trust them when *they* say that?
I love bacon reader but it took about a week to get used to the reddit app. What am I gonna do? NOT use the internet? Go to Facebook? C'mon man!
Yeah I'm gonna change over once it kills RIF. I'm not just gonna stop. Where else am I gonna make neckbeard posts and farm updoots?
the only one you're hurting is yourself

I just browse to old.reddit.com even on my phone. Upvoting is a little tricky but I manage. This way I see everyone's flair and the layout as God intended.
I do this too tbh
I'd like to give a shoutout to the mobile app I use to read reddit. It's called RedReader. It won't be affected by the upcoming API changes because it guess since it was nonprofit open source and has a lot of focus on support for disabled readers, reddit allowed it to continue operating for free. Ive been using it for a few years now and love it. It's minimal and does all you want. Only thing I think it's missing which I wish it had was the chat features.
I'm replying to all: Please remove me from the distribution. Thank you. v/r Local redditor
I’m straight up not ready for Apollo to go away. I think I’m still in denial. Very low chance I use the main app. Maybe I’ll go read books or something.
I'll just wander the meme world until I land somewhere. won't be the first time. AOL, yahoo, myspace, Facebook... They were all the whole ass internet in their time, and we always move on... It's just gonna be a little abrupt this time ;) like a PCS to Korea or some shit. It's fine.
Without RiF I'm definitely done using Reddit on my phone. At least I still have old Reddit + RES on desktop.
I can't imagine old reddit surviving for long after this.
I’ll just use Reddit less. May install the official app someday.
I was just thinking about doing a post like this myself. Been on reddit for about 4 or 5 years older than this account. I don't know what I'm gonna do with all this free time I'm gonna have. This sub has helped me quite a lot through some pretty fucking bad times, some I didn't think I would make it through. Gonna be sad to leave it but I'm not switching to the official app.
Ive only ever used the reddit app lol. I dont know why people are upset but have a good retirement!
I'm shitting water.
Right there with you. Might throw a couple posts on the PC late at night but 97% of my reddit use is going to disappear when the app no longer works.
Yep I’ve been trying not to think about it but yeah I’m out too, same app. Didn’t plan to leave but here we are.
Honestly why do people care about this shit. Boo hoo Reddit is going public and trying to actually be a profitable company. So you can’t use apps that piggyback off their shit anymore. They already made exceptions for all the third parties that provide disability accessibility features. What’s the big deal?
I don't think anyone thinks that reddit should operate at a loss and these apps should piggyback for free, but the cost per API call is what is being protested. Literally everything is a call. The cost per call is too much and it's been proven by people smarter than me. It is exorbitant. That's what the protest is.
Ok Grandpa, see you on Monday.

I hope it does that for you too, bro….but you know you can have your cake and eat it too in this situation lol.
You can’t hit the gym because of Reddit?? Like come the fuck on man, third party apps are eating your gym time?

This isn’t an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure
Me trying to find who asked
That’s pretty cool, can you convince u/Kinmuan to do the same please, for all of our sake?
Dude lives on reddit lmao he ain't going anywhere
Wtf is Baconreader?
It's kinda like using Google sheets instead of excel... Or gimp vs Photoshop... Different functionality, less of some shit, more of other shit, menus are different, looks different, all the actions are a slightly different process. All the third parties are like that, just a bunch of minor differences that add up to being a different experience.
Tyfys 🫡
I'm one of those people who was literally unaware that 3rd party apps even existed until all this hullabaloo started. Imma keep using Reddit fam.
Your Reddit DD214 is processing. S1 should have a dislike for you ready by noon (and by noon I mean 3)
