I was a Relay user but I'm pretty damn easy to please tech wise so if the 3rd party app shutdown existed in a vaccuum I'd probably be fine with the allegedly shitty official app. What I can't condone is the moneygrabbing and end-user belittling behavior of the reddit execs so I am not going back. If lemmy doesn't pan out then I'll re-learn bookreading and be better for it.

Guess what: Reddit needs its users a lot more than users need Reddit.
