I know will not be seen by many, but if someone wonders why my profile is dead, they know why. Link sends to join-lemmy.org, if I get banned, oh well…

    I still haven’t touched Reddit since Apollo shut down. Feels good to stand up for what you believe in

      RIF was working for about a month after the shut down (shit down?) but I was logged out and strictly lurking.

      Lemmy has been way more stable for me in the past 2 weeks as well.

      I’ll use my browser to look at reddit without being logged in every now and then, but honestly 90% of the major news is on Lemmy anyhow and the memes and community are 10x better than anything on Reddit since about a decade.

      Only thing left for Lemmy is more local/provincial communities gaining traction on Lemmy, but I’m in no rush at all. I’d rather have a limited user base with genuine interaction than the shit slide botfest reddit feels like now

        You still can use it if you spoof the api key with revanced.

        I keep using RiF to check r/ModCoord from time to time and see the death of the platform.

          Preach brother what new ritual is this “spoof the api key with revanced” that you talk about? May the god have mercy on us

            You can patch rif application with a personal api key and continue using it. The instructions to do it are in ReVanced webpage (revanced.app). It does not require root.

      Agreed. I know that my leaving isn’t going to change the platform, get Spez fired, or have any substantial effect. But the key thing is I know that I’m not supporting it.

      My friend said that too, saying they’d never use the official app. Then they posted a link today that I couldn’t open without the official app 🤦‍♂️

      I haven’t logged in since BaconReader shut down. I’ve gone over to lurk a little, but each time I do and drop into the comments, I last maybe 5 minutes and close it.

      That said, the holier-than-thou crowd is becoming more vocal here, and it’s a bummer.

        The commies with no sense of the historical irony of said label were here before I arrived. I’d say they were teenagers afflicted with black and white thinking but maybe that is not the case.

    Maybe the detachment the negative posters feel in this thread is part of Reddit being a toxic place. Just a theory.

    OP is BASED as fuck, I went to go check out my Reddit account since I haven’t used it since lemy and Reddit just felt so clunky and bloated in comparison

    You guys are strange, who feels the need to write a going away letter on a reddit account? I doubt any of you had some sort of following on there. Redditors are a truly strange breed.
