What is going on over there? Are they actually in a race to lose the most users?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

In what other situation like this is the original hidden behind a paywall?

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Ok that’s it I’m uninstalling it.

Apollo icons were the gold standard.

Laughing. My. Mother. Fucking. Ass. Off.

All they had to do was say, “ok, third party apps can stay for premium users only” and I’d probably have Reddit premium now. Instead I deleted my ten plus year old account along with all my posts that weren’t mod announcements (so only two didn’t get deleted).

Instead I’ve fucked right on off to Kbin and Lemmy and all is well. Fuck Reddit and MOTHERFUCK Steve Huffman the stupid pig boy.

They’re coming up with bullshit to help sell their company on IPO with higher revenue. Lmao 🤣

Fuck Reddit, but you guys are just looking for shit at this point. It’s an app icon who cares

This is kind of like going thru your ex's social media and making fun of her new bf. Just get over it already. We're not on reddit anymore for a good reason.

If you have to use reddit on your iphone, use Narwhal instead of the privacy-data hungry official crapp.

Did they rip that off of Apollo or were custom app icons a thing before?

[–] starman@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

Yes they existed before
