Fuck you Reddit and Steve Huffman....good riddance.
I don't understand why they don't just improve their app. Half the outrage wouldn't have happened if they'd just improved the app before doing the api thing, like adding accessibility functions. Even if they'd kept the ad issues, they still would have experienced way less backlash, and it's not like they don't have the resources.
They don't want to improve it. The app did exactly what Reddit wants...to service its users with the most amount of ads possible. Third party apps don't do that, which is why they wanted them killed off.
That's a weird way to put it. In Canada, the category is called "top free".
Maybe it's to clarify that you still pay for those apps, but not with money.
And even with the apps, you're still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can't be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist
So ads and data collection are illegal in Canada?
Maybe my comment wasn't clear, I meant the 0€ version. As in, those apps cost 0 money but aren't "free". Just an attempt to be snarky.
But it doesn't say "Top for 0€" in Canada, it says "Top free"
In my country we call it "maximum data surrender".
⚠️Time to BeReal.⚠️
Sir
So many BeReals I got were just friends sitting on the toilet and I don't want to know what they're doing there all day long
Flushing. They should try it sometime.
Flushing is long over for this toilet
It's the shit demon from Dogma!
that last contributor, tho, brave or desperate?
We all know him:
Ok, I guess some people really are full of shit....
Lovoo still exists?! Isn't their CEO in prison due to them creating fake accounts of women in order to squeeze money out of naive men?
I just checked the playstore from the US. Same thing, not on the top 200 at all. Relay for Reddit is at 141. Fucking Truth Social is at 16. Reddit is still an editors choice app though.
Editor might wanna try another career field
Ah, Truth Social isn't really a thing outside the US afaik. Wikipedia says you need an US-American or British phone number to register (not that I wanted to do anyways)
Fedilab is #1 in the "Top Paid" category! (US)
Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.
Who'd have thought that arbitrary despotism had consequences?
Apparently not this guy:
Funny, since my Infinity still works somehow. No clue why, but maybe that's why it's on the list.
Yup, the API is still free if you don't use it commercially if I'm informed correctly (commercially includes app subscriptions, ads and asking for donations)
Try visiting an NSFW sub tho
sadly Twitter is still there.. :/
Imo one of the reasons why the protest on Reddit has worked so well in comparison to X is because of the way content is presented. Whilst X didn't really care about people leaving/protesting, Reddit was extremely affected by the blackout (even if Huff played it down) because the content that was left was trash and people were forced to move or boycott it at least)... There's just no comparable force to the subreddits on X that could affect everyone's timeline so much that they would be forced to stay off it.
That being said, there are lots of more reasons for why X hasn't died (yet)
Why hasn't X died yet though?
I wish it had :')
"removed by moderator for violating Reddit's content policy" I've been using Reddit for years, but recently it's kinda annoying...
I haven't been on there since the first blackout
Basiert
Es ist nicht viel, aber es ist ehrliche Arbeit
I dont see it in top free/top free grossing/top free social east coast US.
Only in top grossing social.
Meanwhile in France
What's Plato?
"Group games and chats" it says (my french is bad) but I've never heard of it. Is it french only?
Edit: at least I think "Chats" means chats and not cats xD
I don't know what Plato is either.
Your translation is correct btw although I'd translate it as "games and group chats" but it can mean both. And indeed "Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here
Such a shame: I would have enjoyed group cats...
I've been searching the Play Store and it does exist in my country as well
Yeah, your translation actually got me the idea of translating it "Games and Chats as a group"... The official name for my country is "Plato - Games & Group Chats"... Anyways :')
"Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here
That is the most stereotypical language thing I have ever seen
