I’m a part of that group. I see 24 people wish I’d kick rocks haha, I get it.

Look, I’m sure most of the refugees agree with me. If we don’t fit in we’ll leave.

So far I’m digging Lemmy. I wish it was more active, but if it’s gonna grow it will.

It broke my heart to leave Reddit after 15-16 years, but it’s not that same place any more any way.

So, hello fellow Apollo refugees.

Trying to make that my experience.

Declined my refund, deleted my Reddit history, now testing like 5 Lemmy clients on iOS, and I’ve only returned to the awful official app to check in on extremely niche subreddits that don’t have a community here yet.

I’ve eliminated my Reddit doomscrolling entirely which I’m happy about.

Also the Lemmy client testing is a lot of fun - it’s almost like Wild West Internet again - especially with a lot of the community just beginning to discuss moderation and administration and the emergent opinions forming. Lots of weird, cool sociology at play rn.

Why is it always Apollo? There were tons of amazing third party apps. This was just another one that seems to be iphone exclusive, which who cares about iOS anyways.

I left. Haven’t been back to Reddit since Apollo died.

Indeed a very strange feeling. I only opened it to confirm Sync really is no longer working. Will keep my account for now (nostalgia?) but have not been browsing reddit since roughly a week. Feels good. But I'm sure official numbers are going to say "Engagement higher than ever at reddit".

I had a more hate than love relationship with Reddit over the last decade. Quit and rejoined twice. I viewed it as a necessary evil so I could keep up with some smaller tech subreddits.

So I was more than happy to delete my account for good after the events of the last month. Looking forward to being here.

I got a Reddit notification for this post while browsing this post. Time to turn off notifications!

Fuck Reddit. I already replaced the bookmark.

If I didn't have a subreddit to moderate, I would walk away now that I can't use apollo.

Reddit directly inspired the creation of the instance I'm on with that shitshow.

Serves them right, I have been using Apollo for so long, it was even one of the few apps I paid for and now reddit just wanted to shut it down, for me reddit is dead and I am glad to see that Lemmy is getting new users pretty fast

I'm done with Reddit. To me it's kinda a dead site except for the occasional old post I'll look at for info with uBlock Origin in Firefox.

Nobody is mentioning the obvious answer to the seemingly stupid decisions of Spez and Musk. They're tanking the primary platforms for leftist discourse online. Rest assured, they are being compensated.

The official app sucks and so does the mobile site.

I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.
