1161164979 2023-06-21T02:09:20Z ElijahPepe The r/LemmyMigration incident appears to have an explanation. Source is unusual and does not have reliability.

1161160777 2023-06-21T01:40:13Z ElijahPepe Not sold on the lack of bolding, but this is a fair compromise.

1161150486 2023-06-21T00:10:42Z PerfectSoundWhatever don't see how the bolding sentence makes the lead more accurate. this feels like a pretty typical [[MOS:BOLDAVOID]]. the original lead sentence, "The 2023 Reddit API controversy is an ongoing dispute on the news aggregation website Reddit" can be entirely implied from the title and new lead sentence.

1161067079 2023-06-20T12:27:52Z ElijahPepe The three academic references have nothing to do with the controversy and the fourth is already mentioned above.
1161066676 2023-06-20T12:23:55Z ElijahPepe The changes will only affect third-party apps and this one-sentence paragraph is in the wrong heading. Eager to use this but it's far too short.

1161026591 2023-06-20T04:41:01Z ElijahPepe The changes won't affect moderation tools and this is a one-sentence section.
