    The arc is wide, but they’re circling the drain. Say what you will about the inefficacy of the exodus, but the exodus was well deserved; the platformhas legitimately gone to shit.

    All my homies hate spez.

    Announce bad change, revert it and apologize saying you’re listening to the community, then implement other changes. Rinse and repeat.

      Except they were too stupid to do it for the only change that mattered to a lot of us, API pricing/access to the full Reddit.

      I was ready to pay up to $15/mo but after they way they treated the Apollo dev and the fact that for all intents and purposes Apollo was Reddit for me by the end. I’d been on Reddit since the start and used many clients but Apollo was the best and I couldn’t go back to the official or any of the clients that put up with what Reddit did.

    I don’t ever remember hearing about this in the first place and I’ve been on there like every day for the past 5 years.

      That’s the weird part. Apparently it’s existed long before the API shutdown, and they only started advertising it a little bit when they killed off reddit awards, as some sort of alternative.

      Not that it would’ve succeeded either way, but it seems like they didn’t even try?

    I still go on reddit once a week for the smaller reddits that have more activity in them. Wishing we could go back 5 or so years ago.

    But I am enjoying this community more overall.

    Thoughts and prayers to the cryptobro who mocked me for not pouring my 80k coins into $MOON bullshit back when Reddit was killing those off, too.
