It’s amazing how many people thought posting shit like this would legitimately protect their info/pictures, etc.

Don’t forget to repost every year to keep it current! /s

I was reading Christian’s goodbye post and the app crashed. Bittersweet moment but I’m done with Reddit. Let’s make this place even better.

After I took the time to understand it, I love it. Just need my favorite communities to migrate/become more active (yes I’ve thought of starting at least one myself and might do so).

I especially enjoy that I feel good about contributing to a conversation here. I didn’t comment much on Reddit because the mob seemed relentless at times.

I’ve joined two instances and I think I need to do more to understand their differences (Lemmy.world vs discuss.online) before I settle on a “main.”

Walked right into that Reddit ambush. Same as us and that thief over there.

That just …. Kept getting …. Weirder. What exactly did I just see?

You sold the C! I’m so happy this community is here post Reddit gate. I’m trying Lemmy and Discuit, and nail content is definitely a big part of what I’m looking for. 💜

When I’m scrolling my main page on Memmy there’s a bookmark next to the up and down vote buttons to save posts.

I think we’re on different settings. I don’t use compact so that’s maybe the difference?

Congrats to the dev! I’m loving Memmy and every improvement/update makes the experience even better. Thank you for the hard work.

Also: beans.

I’ve been trying to figure out upvoting comments since I joined (yesterday). Thank you!

Can you tell that I used buttons for voting even on Apollo? 😋

Holo Taco is the only online/boutique brand I’ve gotten into because I have followed its founder Cristine for many years. On purpose I’ve avoided so many others because I know I’ll instantly become addicted. I legit have only one Mooncat polish because it was an add on to an order for my mother in law and now I want so many of their polishes I’m finding it so hard to resist…

But I do love HT quality, the polishes I have are all gorgeous and their customer service is excellent too. I’ll stick to them for now lol.

God I love a 96% keyboard. I don’t have keycap suggestions but that is a beautiful keyboard and I love the low profile of it.

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.

Lol a fellow laquerista after my own heart.

I just can’t do nail polish that doesn’t have some visual interest, and sparkle is my favorite way to achieve that.

Beautiful! Did you do it yourself or is it a salon mani?

I am a user and not a moderator. I was lucky enough when I joined Reddit to also discover Apollo and quickly thereafter got added to the TestFlight. For me Apollo was Reddit, and it was an excellent customizable experience. My feed could look how I wanted it to, I could block anyone and any keyword(s) and any subreddits I wanted. I was able to curate an actually positive feed in a world full of negativity and vitriol. No ads or suggestions or other nonsense I wasn’t interested in. The ability to change colors and app icons only made the experience better.

When the change rumblings started and Christian was very positive about it, I was willing to pay a subscription (and switch to public) to continue enjoying such an excellent app for Reddit. I had a mild worry that it was not going to end well, but I had no reason to really believe it.

When shit hit the fan a month ago I was happy to see protesting and hoped we’d see some kind of backpedaling or negotiating in the form of what they really wanted. As soon as the retaliation started I knew the end of what Reddit was had come. Enshittification at its finest. Especially regarding the accessibility issues.

And then in the middle, Spez lied his ass off and Christian provided receipts, and then Spez doubled down. And at that moment I knew I could not support Reddit after June 30. I started with Lemmy yesterday and I’m already happier. I sense a renewed ability to curate a positive feed with people who mostly agree on Reddit’s bullshit. I’m currently bouncing between wefwef and Memmy apps, both of which emulate the Apollo experience.

The thing, in the end, that made me saddest was seeing all the hate from users who don’t care about the API changes and were just angry about the blackouts, the John Oliver and Tim Cook posts, the “power hungry mods.” It invaded nearly every comments section I read over the past week. Of course the users are inconvenienced, that was the point. Reddit is nothing without its users and if such a small margin of people can make such a huge difference to the site, the writing should be on the wall for any average user. Alas, I had too much faith in the Reddit community. I hope they fail hard. I can’t wait to see what happens and be happy I’m no longer part of it.

Tl;dr: the worst thing that came from the API changed was Spez and the mob of average Reddit users showing their true colors.

It is, just the way I like it! But it is distracting in the car… 😆
