It’s good at automating basic things, it can really help be a tool but it’s extremely lacking and while it will lead us to new places, I think it will go hand in hand with how we regulate and evolve alongside it.

wow, this is actually amazing.

You’d think a rapidly developing service like Lemmy might face restrictions like that due to resources but Twitter? Mismanagement beyond belief.

It was very satisfying flipping and sliding phones like this. I wonder how it would be to transfer back to a tactile physical keyboard after all this time. I’m not sure if it’s just nostalgia but I almost feel like it would be better

ah ha, my clients company will have outages with the servers every couple of months, this one was a lot longer.

I have a feeling they’ll find it’s a lot of people getting frustrated haha. I think some of my highest levels of frustration come with digital assistances.

I agree with everything you’ve said and that it is disappointing. I do think there is merit in continuing to protest and send a message.

However, I don’t think there’s anything that can move the Reddit leadership team back. Because even if they went back on this API issue, the continued process of the degradation of reddit as a service has been a long term thing. It seems to me that the Fidelity downgrade of their evaluation has pushed them even further down this path.

I truly am done with them. Even if they come back from all this, what’s left there? Somebody else pointed out that over the year, generally interactions became more unfriendly on reddit, spam and changes to the algorithm increasingly pushed away from the platform we all loved.

I see this situation and how it was so exacerbated by Spez and the leaderships absolute failure as a blessing. There’s a lot of alternative ways to spend time on the internet, to connect and learn. Beehaw has been really good to me the last couple days, I am excited for a future here and ready to not contribute toward the mess that reddit has become anymore.

This situation made very clear what writing is on the wall for reddit. I don’t care if people go back, it hasn’t been the reddit I knew and cared about for a long time.

To all the people saying “oh well this won’t replace reddit,” I wouldn’t want it to. Reddit has changed.

Here’s to new beginnings

I agree completely. I don’t care if people go back to reddit, I don’t care if they even reverse some of their decisions, the damage is done for me. I’ll look forward to a new future here and elsewhere on the internet.

get mlem and put it in the same spot as where your apollo app for is today

I replaced the location on my phone with Mlem! It’s been helping

Mlem is awesome, been really fun to engage and grow with this new community

I agree. At this point, even if Reddit backed down for everything it seems like the future there is doomed no matter what. I got a lot of joy out of connecting with people and getting content out of Lemmy this weekend. Looking forward to seeing what this site grows into.

This is a really poignant article that hit the nail on the head for exactly how I feel.

thank you, this comment made my day

hey dude, I did this in Friday night and spent all weekend getting in deep with Lemmy. If you are coming over from Apollo, try the beta iOS app, Mlem.

I really like the communities I found in beehaw but have been steadily exploring.

i think you can engage and interact across both so it may not matter as much.

This is awesome, if Reddit is truly going to go forward like this, it would be great to see a mass exodus of the truly differentiated communities to somewhere new.

The API issue was a huge nail into the coffin of the user experience at reddit. For sure, mobile site will disappear and then old.reddit.

Everything about this is utterly tone deaf, you can see it in u/spez answer in his AMA about how the company will continue to be profit driven until it’s profitable. Bro, this is not how you talk to your user base. Your actions, policies, and strategic outlook should be toward driving the user experience and your service so that it is profitable. Not degrading all things for grinding down every extra cent at the expense of your entire companies differentiators.

Fuck spez, fuck reddit.

100% and they also didn’t need to be total tools about it. giving a month window is a joke, being snarky assholes answering AMAs, telling their user base that profitability is the only thing that matters to them.

Surprising nobody, Reddit continues to make really awful business decisions. This is just another nail in their coffin.
