After a month of outrage, protests, and unrest from the community, Reddit has finally flipped the switch to shut down some third-party apps, including Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader.
RIP Apollo you were a good client.
The best. Thanks Christian.
Apollo was the best. RIP.
I left today when they shut down Apollo. I’ll never return. Fuck spez. I hope Reddit becomes the next Digg. Greed literally ruins everything.
Wefwef is the way.
I already miss my muscle memory operations through sync :/
Sync shut down right before I went out for the morning. Got back this arvo, sat down, immediately opened the app and had to just stare at a blank screen for a bit to let it sink in. And now I’m here lol.
I’m waiting for Sync for Lemmy app, which the Sync creator says he’s working on and there is a community for https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Given all the antics by the company and the despicable behavior by spez and his henchmen, my position on reddit has gone from “I’ll use it much less now that my mobile app is gone and I only have desktop access” to “I will go out of my way to avoid providing value to the company even if it inconveniences me”.
I just spent the better part of 5 hours yesterday manually deleting all my top comments from reddit. They can revoke edits made by pushshift, but they won’t be able to figure out which manual edits to revoke. I used to give out technical advice on reddit and I used to get messages thanking me for posts I made years ago. Now all of those posts are gone.
Ditto. Went from kinda apathetic to full blown hate after all that muppet’s antics.
There’s ways to automatically delete every post and comment you ever made, i forgot the sites name but someone built one
