This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.
Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.
So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.
It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.
So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.
Before Reddit shutdown the apis I used a tool that deleted my entire history. I think this move on Reddit's part is just the beginning, very similar to Twitter. Honestly any platform that gets to large tends to forget itself.
I'm currently in the process of doing that... sort of.
I'm using https://redact.dev/ which gives the option of editing all of the comments to replace it with random text. I think I'm not going to delete my comments and instead leave them as random just to fuck up any future AI data mining. Scorched Earth :P
It's over a decade of comments and posts, across three different accounts so the process is taking all day. Kinda weird seeing comments from 10 years ago stream by as they're being randomized.
To me, Apollo WAS Reddit. Period. When Apollo shut down, Reddit shut down.
Serves them right, I have been using Apollo for so long, it was even one of the few apps I paid for and now reddit just wanted to shut it down, for me reddit is dead and I am glad to see that Lemmy is getting new users pretty fast
I'm done with Reddit. To me it's kinda a dead site except for the occasional old post I'll look at for info with uBlock Origin in Firefox.
Nobody is mentioning the obvious answer to the seemingly stupid decisions of Spez and Musk. They're tanking the primary platforms for leftist discourse online. Rest assured, they are being compensated.
If I didn't have a subreddit to moderate, I would walk away now that I can't use apollo.
Reddit directly inspired the creation of the instance I'm on with that shitshow.
It’s the only reason I’m here checking out how this works.
I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.
I got a Reddit notification for this post while browsing this post. Time to turn off notifications!
I deleted my 11 year old account today, don't want to be a part of that community anymore.
The official app sucks and so does the mobile site.
I used the mobile app for reddit while falling asleep and that was 99% of my interaction with the site unless it popped up from a google search while on the PC. I'll still use it for that probably, but no way I am using that dumpster fire of an app. Mobile use died with apollo for me
