TL;DR

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman will host an AMA on Friday, June 9th to address the community's concerns over the company's planned API changes, which have led to the closure of two popular third-party clients and sparked a mass protest among more than 3,000 subreddits. The AMA will focus on accessibility and moderation tools, but third-party clients are likely to feature prominently in users' questions.
