Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

I’m certainly walking away for the most part, hopefully lemmy can become my daily scroller. That said though, I’ll definitely get on reddit again at some point. Its just too useful of a resource to never touch again. If I need some question answered and only reddit has it, I’m not gonna pass on it just to make a point that primarily hurts me. Other than that though, my primary reddit usage died with Apollo

I haven't willingly been back since the 12th. Shithead CEOs aren't going to profit off my contributions. If everyone did the same it would evaporate overnight

To me third party apps is what made Reddit special. Now Reddit is just another social media platform, so I’m staying far away.

I’m enjoying pixel pals though, and I recommend others give it a go too

Yes, "some." I dumped that shit like a bad habit when Sync died, and I'm far from the only one. Reddit has gone from Apollo to appal_ling_.

I am one of them, except I walked away weeks ago after the lies etc.

[–] Rehreh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That’s what I dig. Deleted my reddit account and now am either on here onSquabbles. Fuck reddit

[–] RolyRamen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have, for now at least. Reddit is a hard habbit to break, and maybe lemmy is just feeding that same habbit but it's an interesting time.

I was a BaconReader user, but yeah when they took that away, that was the final straw for me. I can get my doom scrolling fix anywhere, thank you.

There is no Reddit without Apollo for me. I can't stand the changes Reddit has made over the years, so I'm fine to leave.

[–] samwise@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Same. Ill be honest I tried to use reddit on my laptop and even old.reddit is just not as good as apollo was. I hope the fediverse can get app support like that in the future
