I'd bet when the 3rd party apps are actually gone, we'll get a second wind. People haven't been forced to use the shitty app yet.

Reddit showing its hand. The blackout obviously is having an impact. Once all the dedicated mods are gone the site will go to shit.

I've tried lemmy.world, Beehaw and Kbin. Kbin is by far the closest experience to Reddit as you can get (That I have tried)

I actually feel really sad for an app. Got the 429 error and my heart sunk. Rest in peace friend.

100% smaller subreddits will be a shit show.

Fire temple was the only place I was crashing on my PC. I just saved repeatedly until I made it through.

Pretty good. 11 PM - 7 AM M-F. On weekends I'll stay up later/sleep in later.

Kbin feels much closer to a Reddit alternative. Made the change from Reddit way easier for me.
