Please note: effective October 9, all content posted to /r/aww must be original content (OC) only. Report this post if it is not OC.

On July 1st, a highly unpopular change to Reddit's API pricing went into effect. Most third-party apps have shut down and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users.

Beyond the disastrous AMA by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools (it has) and promises of new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools. Promises just like ones they have made in response to past protests, but have consistently failed to fulfill.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms and participating there instead.
  2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or patching one of the apps that shut down if you're using an Android device.
  3. Disabling ads on Reddit with an ad-blocking extension or a DNS-based ad-blocker.
  4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
  5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
  6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

No such thing as ‘personal space’ to this kitty. lol Thank you for sharing..

10

u/C_Madison 19d ago

Of course there is. Everything in the world is this kittys personal space. That's how this works, yes?

8

u/backtolurk 19d ago

Your space? My space!

6

u/reallybiglizard 19d ago

Every space is a cat’s personal space, lol!

u/Immediate-Cow6875 19d ago

There’s also no such thing as personal space for Great Danes - this is adorable universal karma

u/B0ssc0 19d ago

Beautiful cat.

u/lalosfire 19d ago

Same. Though he couldn't really care less but she certainly loves him.

Great Dane is big warm

Maybe it’s a Danish border collie

For those asking, Kona is indeed full Great Dane! I think the up-close video made it hard to tell. Here’s a better example of our big lazy girl.

u/Darktitan27 19d ago

Ah, the classic broken dane! To the untrained eye, it seems the operating program has malfunctioned but owners know this is just peak comfort.

A shameless up-vote grab!

And have you're well-deserved up-vote.

ps-some folks are so frugal with clicking a button. It's like kid me trying to get a dime out of my grand-father for a Coke.

u/Water-running 19d ago

Does the border collie in your dog offset the chill nature from a Dane?

16

u/Quiet-Fold-1688 19d ago

No border collie in her. She is 100% lazy Dane!

My cat tolerates my 3 month old boxer pup, I'm really hoping this is them in the future.

u/jert3 19d ago

Cats are the only animal that see a creature's head and think: this seems like a good place to lie down.

u/ollieastic 19d ago

Amazing. I would watch ten hours of this. This is the cutest.

He most definitely is a very large cat! The video was very zoomed in since they were cuddling in my lap. She is on the smaller side for a Dane but still a big girl!

u/GreekGeek87 19d ago

Thank you for this. I needed it

u/GroshfengSmash 19d ago

That is a cat who is simultaneously showing

  1. Respect

  2. Love

O hlo big fren. I gentle. No harm. Little clean. Can sit? Luuuuvvvvssss yoooouuuuu”

13

u/ouijac 19d ago

..Great Dane must have a smidgen (at least!) of adoration for your Gato too, to allow all of that nose & forehead affection..very sweet pair there!..

12

u/Thick-Tooth-8888 19d ago

My fucking eyes. They’re tearing up 🥲

u/Vincestio_Dovaahkin 19d ago

I like how the cat just stares at first, "Yes, you are cute. I will take care of you"

It doesn’t seem to let me do a video in comments so I’ll leave this here instead

u/misoandricegamer 19d ago

Thank you lol, those guys are too cute…

u/kellysuepoo 19d ago

I want pets that get along like that. Not able to get a cat because of allergies though. I’d make a calendar of them. 😀

u/Purgii 19d ago

Seems pretty mutual.

u/Shibedude- 19d ago

I also adore this Great Dane

u/everyonegetopineyike 19d ago

Not sure how to get closer..I know, I'll lick it

u/driverofracecars 19d ago

That is either the tiniest Great Dane or the biggest cat I ever did see.

A little of both. He’s a massive cat and she’s on the smaller end for a Dane. Zoomed in video skewed it a bit.

12

u/Brok3n_hAL0 19d ago

Looks like a German Shorthaired Pointer...

14

u/Davban 19d ago

Was gonna say, no great Dane I've seen looks like that. In size or shape

u/_-Sesquipedalian-_ 19d ago

I'm reaaally curious to see other pictures of what this dog looks like

18

u/Quiet-Fold-1688 19d ago

She is full Great Dane, but her coloring is considered mismarked Mantle

I love that we keep getting more pictures of your giant dog to prove that she is in fact your giant dog and not a less giant breed. She's gorgeous and I love her and your kitty!

Those are the smart cats. You always befriend the biggest guy so you have a protector.

Looks like the cat had two choices. Be comfortable, or be next to friend.

The way Dane closed his eyes when your cat is try to groom him 🫶

u/babycallmemabel 19d ago

I had to do a double take as I thought this was my cat, and mine is the exact same way with my dog too.

2

u/Next_Back_9472 19d ago

That’s so cute! The Dane is super chilled, that’s why the cat is comfortable with him ❤️

2

u/Commercial_Dingo_929 19d ago

Every dog and cat we ever had got along...granted, our late Lab, Tillie, took a bit more time for the cat, Hobo, to train to his liking (Tillie actually felt that she should not be the cat's mattress...Hobo felt otherwise). Once Hobo got her broken in right, everything was fine. It looks like your kitty has done a fine job training your dog!

Is there border collie in your great Dane linage?

Not at all, she’s full Dane. I’ve posted some other pics of her in the comments that show more of her.

Gotcha, was just wondering because the markings are very border collie like. ^

Our Boxer-Beagle mix Bug has her own cat. Loves to pet the kitty by nibbling the cat's back. And the kitty loves it.

As Bug has been unable to articulate the name she gave kitty, we refer to it as Miss Kitty on vet forms.

Do not seem to have a pic of Bug and Miss Kitty together. Heres Bug. https://i.imgur.com/M0Tkp4m.jpg
