Been on Reddit for over 10 years and this move finally made me go look for alternatives that don’t hate their own users. Reddit was already going downhill fast the last couple of years, and this move was the last drop for me. If they want to Digg their own hole so be it. Only thing I haven’t found so far is an alternative to the NSFW side of Reddit.
Be the change your want to see, open up those NSFW boards! 🍑
Wish I had the time and resources. I’m in the middle of developing a 🤪 site (not in Reddit/forum format) so I already have my plate full haha.
As someone who’s used Apollo almost every day since the day it originally launched, this is very unwelcome news indeed.
As far as my use of Reddit is concerned, this may well kill it completely. I was a huge Twitter user until Musk came along, when I switched over to Mastodon. But I kept a foot in both camps right up until they killed Tweetbot. I went from posting 20/30 times a day to maybe 6 posts since January - most of which are links to my Mastodon page.
Twitter probably won’t miss me, and neither, in turn, will Reddit. But I can’t in good conscience prop up such bullshit.
I just feel bad for the app devs. In the case of Tweetbot; at least they were able to (very quickly) pivot their code into Ivory, so I just transferred my subscription accordingly. But I don’t see how Christian at Apollo can do the same. Unless he sets out to develop an app for Lemmy, that is 😆
Infinity will have a app for Lemmy!
Source?
Where did you see that?
I’m hoping this is the push needed for a Reddit alternative to gain enough traction without being a cesspit like Voat was.
