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.
Not being able to browse on mobile killed it for me. Most of my browsing was on mobile via Apollo. I refuse to get the official app after this stunt so now I’m just not using Reddit.
Luckily wefwef is making the transition easy and familiar.
I never used Apollo but I'm really liking wefwef.
Man, the astroturfing for wefwef around here is insane. I keep seeing it get brought up even in completely unrelated threads!
Apollo had a huge loyal customer base.
Wefwef provides an almost perfectly cloned UI and is a mere WebApp.
For this reason a lot of users are so impressed with it that they are evangelising it.
The big problem with it that it requires users to submit their login credentials, which is a bit of a security issue.
I used reddit is fun but it's the same story. Literally 15 years using that website daily.
Same deal, we both got fucked by Reddit.
What sucks is I’m sure you’d have paid to stay on RIF and I know I would have paid to stay on Apollo.
What a bummer that dickshit spez couldn’t see past his own nose.
Narwahl decided to try the subscription model. It should cost around 4-7 €/month. Unfortunately, I don’t think Reddit is that valuable to me, so I’ll just stick with Lemmy instead.
