The northern most part of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the southern most part of Brazil.

I still visit reddit maybe once a day for 10 minutes for niche subs or communities that aren't built up here. If those communities develop here, I will fully cut out reddit.

Edit: also when noting that I use Lemmy amount 90% of the time now, but my overall usage of Lemmy/reddit has gone down. Probably for the better, because I started reading again.

All of this PR probably could have been fixed very easily if they gave a 6 months notice and were going to charge a reasonable fee. I would have paid 3rd party a small fee to use their app to not see ads, but spez had other IPO plans.

Fully agree. I'm cautiously going to assume (they have 2000 employees) that they did enough analysis to assume that they would come out of this on the right side. The problem is, they didn't expect spez to be a complete jack off and Apollo to release info that this whole thing was bullshit.

I'd like to see the numbers and calculations to back that claim up. All of them combined?

I have both Lemmy and I kbin since the blackouts. I still check reddit on occasion for some major news or subs I visited, but it's probably only 10% of what I used to.

I paid for the sync app on Reddit back when it was like $2 or 5. I'm not paying $99 to remove ads. I know there are dev costs, but there aren't any API costs here right?

I'll still use Sync here until I see what Boost brings over it's released.

I was on Jerboa for a few days when I first came over, then jumped to thunder and Liftoff. The new update for Jerboa is awesome and I'm using it exclusively until Boost or Sync.

Sync and Boost were far and away the best 2 Android apps for me.

I didn't read the article, just the headline, but both can be true. They lost money but made a ton again. It's no different than someone losing a huge amount in a 401k but then having even more money in the future by not selling and the market going back up.

I can't find anything on kbin, but lemmy has that feature. I can't wait for app support here.

Does the connect app have comment navigation to jump to parent comments? I couldn't find it for weeks and I'm now using sync because it's so polished.

Accidentally ate a ton of edibles?

I'm not saying that they don't love the community, but it was probably also a lucrative opportunity for the developers too. I bought paid versions of a few, and found Boost to be my favorite. I wish they would head over here because people would definitely support them.

Did you FIRE and calculate wrong or had a bad few economic years?

Yep same here! Still check reddit for certain things but dropped it significantly and started reading again.

Stupid me read that as Chinese instead of chain. Reading comprehension is not my strong suit.

I used redact.dev and deleted all of my history fairly quickly.

Agree, but it'll die down. The whole reason that 90% of the people are here is because of reddit so it'll stay news for a bit.

To me, the problem is that usually only a small percentage of people in the small-medium subs were actually content submitters. Personally, I would comment on things often (or lurk), but not submit news and articles. I honestly still jump to reddit once a day to check major news, which will be much harder when my 3rd party app is gone.
