Just migrated here from reddit. Don't plan on going back. That platform is done.
I mean... the discussion is reddit, isn't it?
If I wanted to scroll mindlessly through the flea market of the internet, I'd open Mastodon. I often do, but, reddit is, er... was the community. The community is reddit. The memes, the jokes, the little phrases. They don't own any of that.
This Reddit board thinks they can fence people in but don't see that al of what they are is build by people that likely just go elsewhere if they're continually treated like shit
Agreed. Reddit is a burning trainwreck you can't look away from at this point. I'm not gonna be in the trainwreck, but rather I'll just watch it from here (aka lemmy)
Why? The entire community is still there. Reverse the greedy API change, allow 3rd party apps continued full access, Iโd be back on Apollo in a heartbeat.
It was announced that Apollo is shutting down June 30th regardless of what reddit does. Too much bad blood now after spezโ attempted libel.
I could be tempted but none of that is going to happen. Even though this move will kill the community, it won't kill it fast enough to cause a problem. There's just too much money to be made.
