You may have already seen this, but there is a web app for Lemmy that looks and functions very similar to Apollo:
Iβve been trying it today, and itβs pretty good.
WTF! i been on lemmy for 2 weeks and this is my first time seeing this! Thanks
e: This is friggin amazing!
10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy
RiF is dead, and so is the vast majority of my Reddit participation.
CYA REDDIT!! 8 year old account all deleted and everything I modded is handed down :)
Man, if you told me a couple months ago, that I would stop using Reddit, I wouldn't believe you. I've been on it over a decade. It took Spez ONE MONTH to undo everything and make that a reality.
First comment. Looking forward to the new(ish) community full of familiar faces.
I have a weird request to the other Redfugees: I had considered going through and nuking my entire post history for all of my accounts. But then I realized that a lot of the advice that I've given on /linux and /python would be lost. I'm not a master at either, but I like to think that I've helped people out.
So before deleting everything as a (justified!) middle finger to a terrible CEO, take into account that what you've written is a part of a tapestry of internet history. 99.99% is trite. But you never know what future generations will find interesting or useful.
Just my $0.02.
Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It's one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.
Agreed. When I saw the Apollo thread, my first thought was 'Nah, not even spez would do this' but I choked on that very fast when I saw the e-mails, the audio recordings and everything. It was so blatant, so asinine, so horribly fucked up.
I've never used the Apollo app, but millions of people did and in stead of thanking him for all his work, reddit just stabbed him in the back. Can't believe there are people still taking reddit's side on this, it's crazy.
One more day until Reddit Isn't Fun... :(
It's been a good run, but without RiF the site is worthless.
That being said, it paves the way for the Fediverse to grow, so rather than celebrating the end of an era, I'm enjoying the birth of a new one.
I crisis can be an opportunity.
It's unlikely that reddit was the best site possible for us. We know how to improve it.
Excited for Lemmy.
Reddit was it was good while it lasted, but it was just a container for online communities. The AP protocol is superior to a centralized model in every way.
Onwards you beautiful nerds!
