The thing is that it really is no longer about 3rd party apps working or not, rather, the level of disrespect displayed from Reddit towards us, their userbase. That's why I'm not going back.

Exactly. Relay user here and it'll continue to function but...
- Fuck spez
- I don't care to support reddit anymore
- Reddit's content for my feed is already turning to garbage. I'm already finding kbin and lemmy better.
Good riddins.
Exactly this. There is now actual conversarion and I'm finding interesting content again.
I’m struggling to find as much interesting content as I did on Reddit. BUT I am much more easily finding pleasant conversations. And that I think is more important.
I’m posting more here than I did on Reddit because I want to be the change I want! Also I’m still learning to navigate this place too. I like it though.
The bots posted most of the interesting content in Reddit, and it’s unhealthy to have a constant stream of “interesting” content to browse through. For the time being, this seems much more organic content, and there is actually a bottom to hit in terms of content which makes me want to do something besides endlessly scroll.
The only thing I'll be giving Reddit is my traffic, more than happy to lurk the comment but I definitely won't be posting, commenting, upvoting/downloading or helping admins by reporting spam and rule violations. None of that effort anymore
The only thing I'll be giving Reddit is my traffic,
Just to bear in mimd that traffic is the metric that they use when selling to advertisers. Not criticising you, just pointing it out.
Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I'm not going back.
All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.
Fact is even if Reddit rolled back the changes it’d be the classic “let’s see how far we can push our user base then we’ll roll that back to acceptable levels while slowly pushing those limits through later updates” strategy
When the API shut off early, Apollo dev u/iamthatis (@ChristianSelig) revoked his token so I cannot see any of this; but I’m wondering if reddit isn’t pulling a silent reversal of this to stem the bleeding of users and content. There is a lot of useful stuff that has been deleted. The AMA staff resigning and all the stuff migrating to fedi. No matter how much f-u/spez tries to shout “This is fine”; the building is still burning all around him.
Bet they left turned access back on.
The r/blind mods said RedReader stopped working for them what a total clusterfuck to have the key accessible app not work while others are.
