Technology

I bought the wallpapers to support Christian and had a really emotional evening.

When the blackout started I joined Lemmy and started to stop using Reddit to show my support by not producing any traffic.

On the last day I opened up apollo again and it was so terrifying, knowing the way I used Reddit for years will be gone. I used PDS but will wait with the deletion of my accounts to be safe that Reddit doesn’t restore my comments.

I still keep my fingers crossed that Christian will make an Apollo App for Lemmy, but I can totally understand the he got other things to do.

Just remember, he got called out from Spez and one of his income sources just disappeared because a business partner just wanted to fuck him up. I hope his friends and family will be there for him.

BTW: Made a little fan icon. Just for the dreams.

I’m not an Apollo user but still quit reddit because of the disgusting handling not only of third party app but also of the mods and users. Reddit isn’t deserving any of my time anymore. So far I’m enjoying lemmy and hope it stays free of corporate greed!

I do not understand how there is no mention of the fediverse.

Yup, that's me. I'm still a little surprised at how easy (thanks Spez) it actually was for being such a heavy consumer of Reddit. Doing Christian wrong like that, as well as the many popular 3rd party apps and their loyal users, just didn't sit right with me. Spez chose the nuclear option, instead of actually working with and potentially helping to grow the site along with 3rd party devs, so this is the resulting fallout. He asked for it, so he got it.

I’m gone, I blocked Reddit on my firewall, it’s inaccessible from my home network or any of my personal devices. I’ve also added uBlacklist to all my browsers to exclude them from search results.

As far as I’m concerned, that site no longer exists.

I’m one of those

Apollo for Lemmy when?

I got a Reddit notification for this post while browsing this post. Time to turn off notifications!

Let's be realistic here, there's very little chance that a significant portion of users migrate out. It's cool. We don't have to obsess about our ex.

used to use reddit sync.. deleted my reddit account now. shame, it was a really active site, but this is a good equivalent and it won't get spezzed or eloned. I can just move server if I feel like it.

I haven't willingly been back since the 12th. Shithead CEOs aren't going to profit off my contributions. If everyone did the same it would evaporate overnight

I deleted my 12 year 100k account at 11:59p Friday night. Had redact edit every old comment then delete them and closed the account. Some of my Google searches are still landing me over there. I don't even know what it would take to put me there permanently, again. I'm just hoping I can cultivate my experience here, enough, so that I won't have to find out.

Why is it always Apollo? There were tons of amazing third party apps. This was just another one that seems to be iphone exclusive, which who cares about iOS anyways.

Trying to make that my experience.

Declined my refund, deleted my Reddit history, now testing like 5 Lemmy clients on iOS, and I’ve only returned to the awful official app to check in on extremely niche subreddits that don’t have a community here yet.

I’ve eliminated my Reddit doomscrolling entirely which I’m happy about.

Also the Lemmy client testing is a lot of fun - it’s almost like Wild West Internet again - especially with a lot of the community just beginning to discuss moderation and administration and the emergent opinions forming. Lots of weird, cool sociology at play rn.

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.
