Happy ruleversary
I got sitebanned a couple weeks before RIF officially died so not quite the same anniversary, close enough though :)

MODERATORS
I’ve only been here since the start of the year but I’m happy to be here.
I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.
This me. Do we get snacks?
The office ordered everyone beans. You can have some during your break.
Sometimes I forget how long it's been!
2 years and 2 weeks. I must have left a tad early.
Synch for Lemme and haven't gone back.
I still have rif on my phone for it's sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.
I joined about half a year after the 3rd party apps died. Reddit's decision back then still feels like it was more recent than just 2 years ago, though...
Can time stop speedrunning itself, please?
I stopped using RIF when the dumbass who developed it started whining about open source and monetary remuneration. The app became popular in large part because it was open source.
It’s just like the nutsack who founded GitHub. A literal GPLv2 program and the guy got super rich and famous, then extolled the virtues of using lax permissive licenses. Absolute tool.

best thing i did on reddit was leaving and coming to lemmy.
What's RIF? I joined when BaconReader stopped working
Someone else suggested saying when all the 3rd party API supported apps stopped working - but there's only so much room on a meme text box, ya know?
RIF was arguably the best Reddit mobile app.

Hey thanks man, those two years flew!
3 months short for me but that's because it took me that long to figure out how Lemmy worked.
I wasn't on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It's been one of the better places I've enjoyed for discussion.
