For me it's simple: no sync, no reddit.
I'm never going to use their app.
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.
Too bad we don't get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Is 5 low? ;) (3-digit user here; commence the Yorkshiremen sketch)
Presumably we'll still have account age, at least.
Of course, if you wanted a name that was always taken you could just join another federated site. For example, you're [email protected] but there could also be a [email protected], etc.
I'm still learning how this works. Thank you
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
Wait, what? First I'm hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
When I read that I was astonished.
He literally threw free money away... for what exactly?
Yep. The day the Boost app on my phone stops working is the day I cease visiting Reddit entirely. It's about sending a message.
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it's so slow and there's so much ad there.
I went from Slide to Apollo. When I heard about the API news, I tried out their official app, and it was just horrible. There were even ads in the comments!
