- The Reddit app-pocalyse is here: Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader go dark
- How Reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history
- Reddit will remove mods of private communities unless they reopen
- Reddit CEO Steve Huffman isn’t backing down: our full interview
- Why disabled users joined the Reddit blackout
- Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted
- A developer says Reddit could charge him $20 million a year to keep his app working
I haven’t been back. Once Baconreader went dark it’s been all fediverse all the time.
I still open baconreader once in a while out of habit.
There’s a little message about “hey sorry but reddit fucked us”, then I remember there is no reddit anymore and I wander off :)
I’ve been minimizing my use as much as possible. I haven’t quit completely because there’s still a few communities I want to keep up with that aren’t moving to any other platforms yet. Some of them are too small to care, or too large to viably move to another site without fracturing the community.
me neither, but we’re probably the minority.
